Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb top sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown, your pick)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional) Adds a pop of color and flavor

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Start by warming a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil—enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
  2. Add the steak pieces and season them with salt and pepper. Sear for about 3–5 minutes, until they’re brown on the outside but still tender on the inside.
  3. Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Stir for 2–3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add your cooked rice to the skillet. Mix until the rice is heated through and coated with the tomato and steak mixture.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Using leftover rice speeds up the cooking. You can substitute steak with chicken or tofu, adjusting the cooking time as needed. For added spice, consider red pepper flakes or bell peppers.
