Sautéed Beef with Olives and Tomatoes
It’s hard to find anything simpler than this sautéed beef dish. In less than 30 minutes, you’ll have a hearty, heartwarming meal with a rich tomato-olive sauce that adds just the right amount of salty goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) diced plum tomatoes
- 1/3 cup (50 g) pitted green olives, coarsely chopped
- 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- On a work surface, pound the steak with a meat mallet. Slice into thin strips and place in a bowl. Add the onion, garlic and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- In a large non-stick skillet over high heat, cook half of the meat mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until nicely browned. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining meat mixture.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, cook the tomatoes and olives for 5 minutes. Add the meat mixture to the sauce. Reheat for 1 minute, stirring to coat the meat in the sauce, or until the onions are tender. Adjust the seasoning.
- Garnish with the parsley. Serve with parboiled rice, if desired.
