Congolese Food: Steak Rice & Potatoes Recipe

steak

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork chops

Chicken breast is leaner and often less expensive than steak.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil offers healthier fats and is versatile.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth is lower in calories and can be made at home.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: coconut aminos

Tamari is gluten-free and often lower in sodium.

Marinate the steak in soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Sear the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness is achieved.

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

In the same skillet, add butter and sauté chopped onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika during cooking.

Prepare rice according to package instructions, using beef broth instead of water for added flavor.

Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in chopped parsley before serving.

Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve alongside the sautéed potatoes and rice.
