Steak and Seasonings
- 2 pieces Ribeye steak or NY strip steak (Choose tender cuts for a juicy experience)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Use high-quality olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon 7 Spice (This blend adds depth and complexity)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (For seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (Freshly cracked for extra kick)
Vegetables and Sauces
- 1 medium Onion (Optional, adds sweetness and flavor)
- 3 cloves Garlic (Minced)
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro (Chopped, for garnish)
- 1 cup Tomato sauce (Robust base for the dish)
- 2 pieces Roma tomatoes (Diced)
- 1 cup Frozen peas (Sweetness and color)
- 1 cup Frozen carrots or carrot sticks (For nutrition and balance)
- 1 cup Water (For cooking evenly)
Instructions
- Preparation Steps: Prepare all ingredients by mincing garlic, chopping onion and cilantro, dicing Roma tomatoes, and seasoning the ribeye steak with 7 Spice, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Heat the Oil: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, ensuring the pan is hot enough to sear the steak properly.
- Brown the Steak: Add the seasoned steak cubes into the skillet and brown them thoroughly on all sides, which takes about 5 to 7 minutes, locking in the juices and developing rich flavors.
- Sauté Aromatics: Mix in the chopped onion and minced garlic with the steak in the skillet, sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly softened, enhancing the dish’s overall aroma and taste.
- Add Tomatoes and Vegetables: Stir in the tomato sauce, diced Roma tomatoes, frozen peas, and frozen carrots, combining all ingredients evenly in the skillet to build a hearty base.
- Simmer the Dish: Pour in one cup of water to help the mixture cook thoroughly, bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the dish before serving to add a fresh and vibrant finish.
Notes
- Use ribeye or NY strip steak for the best tender and juicy texture; avoid tougher cuts.
- Adjust the 7 Spice seasoning to your preference for mild to bold flavor.
- Fresh tomatoes can be substituted if preferred, but canned tomato sauce adds richness.
- Simmering time may be adjusted based on desired tenderness of vegetables and steak.
- This dish pairs well with warm rice, couscous, or flatbread for a complete meal.
