Herb-Infused Rustic Sauté with French Flair
Ingredients:
For the Vegetable Sauté:
2 medium potatoes, diced
2 large carrots, sliced
2 medium zucchinis, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the French Meat:
1 lb (450g) beef or chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Meat:
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the meat pieces, season with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. If using, stir in the Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
Sauté until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the sliced zucchini and minced garlic. Continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender and golden.
Season with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Combine and Serve:
Return the cooked meat to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
