Creole Steak with Jambalaya Rice

This recipe is a gift from New Orleans. The rice starts with onion, green bell pepper and celery, and the steak gets a touch of spice. If you haven't tried down home Cajun food, now is the time.

Cook Mode

Ingredients:

  • 4 beef Sirloin Tip Steaks, cut 1/4 inch thick (about 1 pound)
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, divided
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt added diced tomatoes
  • 1-1/2 cups cooked brown rice

Cooking:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat in 3-quart saucepan until hot. Add onion, celery, bell pepper and 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
