Rosemary Steak Dijon Skillet

Here is a really delicious recipe that is a great use up for those fresh summer veggies. I happened upon this recipe by accident. One day I was planning to make my Rosemary Dijon Steak Brochettes but it was pouring down rain and I figured I wouldn't be able to use the grill that evening. Instead, I changed up the marinade a little, and sauteed the steak in a skillet with the vegetables. It turned out so yummy and so the recipe stuck! I serve this over couscous or quinoa, but you could serve it over rice or noodles, or all by itself, whatever you like!

Rosemary Steak Dijon Skillet

• 2 lbs steak, cubed (I used bottom round but you can use any cut you like)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, removed from the stems
• 1/8 cup dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp. steak sauce
• 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 vegetable oil + 3 tbsp for cooking
• 1 tbsp. garlic powder or 4 garlic cloves, minced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large zucchini, chopped
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

Place the steak into a large ziplock bag or Foodsaver bag. In a bowl, whisk the next 7 ingredients together until well combined. Stream in the vegetable oil, mixing well and pour over the steak. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator 2-8 hours (or longer, the longer you leave it, the more flavorful it will be). After marinating the desired amount of time, heat the oil a large, deep sided skillet over medium high heat.  Add the steak and ALL of the marinade and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. 

Add the zucchini, the onion, and the mushrooms (if using) and continue to saute until the vegetables are soft, another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cover. Cook until the tomatoes easily pop and release their juices, about 5 more minutes, then continue to cook uncovered, stirring frequently, another 5 minutes. Serve over noodles, couscous, quinoa, or rice.

I put the mushrooms as optional in this recipe because I leave them out. I happen to LOVE mushrooms, but David can't stand them and will not eat them. It's really unfortunate because mushrooms are totally yummy!

Anyway, that is all for now. Until next time, happy and HEALTHY cooking and EATING!
