24K CARROTS



24k Carrots image

Carrots coated with a yummy butter, brown sugar and ginger sauce. I grew up eating these in Texas. Easy, quick and yummy!-- GREAT way to get kids to enjoy this veggie! If you like a lot of sauce double the sauce ingredients. I posted this less 'saucy' to keep the fat and calories down. The sauce is yummy and great on rice or just on a spoon! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! I am so honored that this simple little recipe of mine has been so well received. Thank you all for your reviews!

CAJUN BUTTER GARLIC STEAK BITES



Cajun Butter Garlic Steak Bites image

From "Cafe Delites", I absolutely love using this recipe! The amount of Cajun seasoning I used (about 1/8 cup) was the perfect amount of flavor for my family, because I already had Cajun seasoning, and I was making multiple dishes at once, I didn't home make the seasoning--making this recipe even simpler and easier to cook! Delicious and tender steak bites! Love the garlic and butter that creates a delicious sauce with the drippings of the meat. https://cafedelites.com/cajun-butter-steak-bites/

Categories     Steak

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

23 ounces steak, cut into 2 inch cubes (can use Sirloin, Rump, New York, Porterhouse or Rib-eye, I used Sirloin)
1 -2 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup butter (sliced to melt faster)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped (I use minced garlic in a can, 1/2 tsp = 1 clove)
1 tablespoon mild paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder, add more if you like heat
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2-3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, add more if you like heat
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • **This is Homemade Cajun Seasoning mix. Feel free to use your own recipe or store bought, we just use about 2-3 Tbsp of seasoning. Use more for more spice.
  • Combine cajun seasoning in mixing bowl. Add the steak bites and toss to evenly coat.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Sear the steak bites in batches for 2-3 minutes each side (about 3-4 for more well-done bites) until edges are crispy and browned, adding extra oil as needed. Remove from pan (I use tongs to place them on a cutting board/bowl--this will also allow the meat to cool a bit, soaking in its juices!).
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and heat until melted. Sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds), while scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  • Take the pan off heat. Throw the steak bites back in and toss through the garlic butter to evenly coat.
  • Serve warm.
  • I served this to my family with Rhodes rolls, mashed potatoes/gravy, and "Mamas Kitchen Hope" 24K Carrot recipe. Very easy recipes that you can make into a wonderful meal!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • If you can't find fresh carrots, you can use frozen or canned carrots. However, fresh carrots will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel the carrots before cooking them. This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender but still have a bit of a crunch. Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland.
  • Season the carrots with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the carrots hot or cold, as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Carrots are a versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy side dish or a hearty and healthy main course, there's a carrot recipe out there for you. So next time you're at the grocery store, be sure to pick up a bunch of carrots and experiment with some of these delicious recipes.
