Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 2 pieces Ribeye steak or NY strip steak (Choose tender cuts for a juicy experience)
Spices and Seasonings
- 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 Garnish
- 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)
Liquids
- 1 cup Water (For cooking evenly)
Instructions
- Preparation Steps: Gather all ingredients, chop the onion, dice the Roma tomatoes, mince the garlic, and chop the fresh cilantro. Cut the ribeye or NY strip steak into cubes for even cooking.
- Heat Oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it is shimmering, which indicates it is hot enough for searing the steak.
- Season Steak: Season the steak cubes thoroughly with 7 Spice, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to infuse flavor.
- Brown Steak: Place the seasoned steak cubes into the hot skillet and brown them on all sides. This process takes about 5 to 7 minutes and seals in the juices.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the browned steak. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion softens and the garlic releases its aroma.
- Add Sauce and Vegetables: Stir in the tomato sauce, diced Roma tomatoes, water, frozen peas, and frozen carrots. Mix all ingredients to combine well.
- 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 become tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving to add a burst of freshness and color.

- Adjust seasoning quantities according to your taste preference.
