By , About.com Guide

Flank steak is cooked quickly in the skillet then greens and seasonings are cooked in the same skillet.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound beef top round or flank steak
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons spicy Southwest or Cajun-style seasoning, purchased or the combination below
  • vegetable oil spray
  • 8 medium red skinned potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large carrot, peeled, cut in very thin strips about 2 inches in length
  • 1 pound (about 2 bunches) mustard greens, collard, or turnip greens, stems removed and torn in bite-size pieces

Preparation:

Thinly slice flank steak across the grain into long strips 1/8-inch thick. The beef will be firmer and easier to slice if partially frozen. Thoroughly coat each beef strip with spicy seasoning. Spray a large heavy skillet with vegetable oil spray or lightly coat the pan with olive oil. Preheat pan over medium-high heat. Add meat; cook quickly, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add potatoes, onion, beef broth, and garlic. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes. Stir in carrot strips. Arrange the greens over top. Cover and cook until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Serve with cornbread or a crusty bread.
Serves 6.
