Cajun Beef

This is a quick dinner idea, which I believe everyone is looking for on any given day. Most of us work hard every day, and cooking up a delicious dinner can be challenging, when you really just want to kick your heels up. So, time is of the essence, especially if you want to decide for yourself what’s in your dinner, as opposed to accepting whatever ingredients from your local delivery. I personally added potatoes to this meal, but it works just as well with any kind of rice, or even a sandwich roll.

What you’ll need:

1 pound steak (of your choice), cut into 1 – 2 inch cubes
1/4 cup butter
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
oil for cooking

In a bowl combine paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne, oregano and thyme. Add the steak cubes and coat evenly. Heat 2 tbsp oil over medium heat in a skille,t and add the beef cubes. Cook for 3 minutes.

Remove the steak and rest on a plate, then remove heat to medium/low and add butter. Let it melt, then add the garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, while scraping up bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the steak back to the skillet, cook for another 3 minutes (or longer if you like your steak well done).Stir well. Remove from heat, and add cooked potatoes (or rice) to the meal.
