Ingredients
- ½ (18 oz) bagbroccoli florets
- 1 clovegarlic
- ¾ lbribeye steak
- ½ (10 oz) bagshredded carrots
From the pantry: butter, unsalted, Cajun seasoning, salt
Cookware
chef's knife · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring spoons · nonstick skillet · stirring spoon · tongs
Directions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then place it on a plate and sprinkle Cajun seasoning on both sides.
- When the skillet is hot, add butter and swirl to coat the bottom. Place in the steak and cook to your preferred doneness, about 2–5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let rest; keep the skillet for later use.
- Peel and mince the garlic.
- Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels, return it to medium heat, and add more butter, swirling to coat the bottom. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the broccoli, shredded carrots, and salt to the skillet. Sauté, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, roughly 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.
- Serve by dividing the steak and vegetables between plates and enjoy.
Two tips
- Prep the vegetables ahead by washing the broccoli and shredding the carrots; keep them ready for quick cooking.
- For a different finish, swap half the broccoli for extra carrots or serve the steak with a squeeze of lemon if available.
