Categories     White Rice

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb round steak, cut into strips
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 lb mushroom, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
to taste salt
to taste pepper
to taste cayenne
to taste Tony Chachere's Seasoning

Steps:

  • Brown the meat, onion, green pepper, and mushrooms in a small amount of oil in a heavy skillet. Cook until vegetables are soft and meat is browned.
  • Remove from heat. Add tomatoes and spices.
  • Bring to a boil then lower heat to a simmer.
  • Cook 10 minutes.
  • Serve over white rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, chuck roast or stew meat is a good choice. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in a flavorful liquid.
  • Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid is what gives the beef its flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful broth or sauce. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or even water, but adding a few tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or tomato paste will help to enhance the flavor.
  • Cook the beef slowly: The key to tender beef is to cook it slowly. Simmer the beef for at least 2 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the beef over rice or mashed potatoes: Beef and rice is a classic combination, but you can also serve the beef over mashed potatoes, noodles, or even grits.

Conclusion:

This Cajun beef and rice recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
