How to Saute Vegetables for Steak
Sauteing vegetables is a great way to add flavour and texture to steak. When done correctly, this simple side dish can take your steak to the next level! Here’s how to sauté vegetables and serve the perfect steak.
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Start by prepping the vegetables you’ll be sautéing. Provided you are using fresh vegetables, simply rinse them and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat up some oil (olive or vegetable) or butter over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the vegetables and spread them evenly across the surface.
Step 3: Add Herbs and Spices
Sprinkle your chosen herbs and spices over the vegetables. Popular seasonings for steaks and sautéed vegetables include:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Thyme
- Rosemary
- Garlic
- Cumin
Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables
Stir the vegetables in the pan every few minutes to ensure they cook evenly. Turn down the heat if you see the vegetables start to burn. The vegetables should be ready in 10-15 minutes, or when they are tender and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve with Steak
Once the vegetables are cooked, serve them alongside a steak for the perfect meal. Enjoy!
