Ingredients
Scale
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
- Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, preparing the pan for cooking the steak.
- Season the steak: Season the ribeye steak cubes thoroughly with 7 Spice, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to build flavor.
- Brown the steak: Add the seasoned steak to the hot skillet and brown on all sides, cooking for about 5-7 minutes to develop a rich crust and seal in juices.
- Sauté aromatics: Incorporate chopped onion and minced garlic into the skillet with the steak, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Add the sauce and vegetables: Stir in tomato sauce, diced Roma tomatoes, water, frozen peas, and frozen carrots, mixing well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer the dish: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the finished Bazella before serving to add a bright, herby finish.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes along with the 7 Spice.
- You can substitute ribeye with NY strip steak or any tender beef cut suitable for quick cooking.
- Using fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomato sauce will add a fresher taste but might require longer simmering to thicken.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
- If desired, you can add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition.
