Steak and Seasoning
- 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 Sauce
- 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 chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, dicing the Roma tomatoes, and chopping the fresh cilantro. Set aside frozen peas and carrots.
- Heat Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers, indicating it’s hot and ready for cooking.
- Season Steak: Season the ribeye or NY strip steak pieces generously with 1 tablespoon of 7 Spice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper for a flavorful crust.
- Brown Steak: Add the seasoned steak cubes to the hot skillet and brown on all sides, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. This step seals in the juices and develops flavor.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic into the skillet with the steak and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and the onions become translucent.
- Add Sauce and Veggies: Stir in 1 cup of tomato sauce, diced Roma tomatoes, 1 cup of water, frozen peas, and frozen carrots. Combine well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to cook through.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving warm with your choice of sides.
