Basil Sirloin and Potatoes

I'm a winner!
The winner (with 2 votes) of the dinner poll is basil sirloin and potatoes. (Sorry, Jen.) My friend let me borrow a ton of cooking magazines one time, and this is one I copied and love! I omit the green bell pepper and tomatoes, but you don't have to.

Basil Sirloin and Potatoes
(serves 4)
Combine:
1 lb. sirloin steak, in 3/4 inch cubes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp. basil, dried and
1 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
in a large bowl. Heat 4 tsp. olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until hot. Add steak mixture and 1 medium bell pepper (deseeded and cut into wedges). Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the steak is done to your liking. Remove from skillet and set aside until later.
Whisk 2 tsp. flour into the skillet. Add:
1 lb. new red potatoes, sliced thinly
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 large onion, cut into 1" wedges and
1 c. chicken broth.
Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are cooked. Stir it once or twice. Add back the steak mix and bell pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the dish is warm.

  1. Wow, that doesn't take very long to cook! I'm impressed! I'd probably eliminate the green pepper, too. :-P I don't buy meat very much, so I'm curious: how much does a pound of sirloin usually cost you?

  2. I don't know, Maria. I usually halve the recipe because it's just the two of us. Last time I made it, they were out of my special Painted Hills natural beef sirloin, so I had to get something else. I think it was about $5/pound. I don't really know. I hardly buy steak meat either.
