Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the beef into bite-sized cubes. Season the cut beef with black pepper, herb salt, and a little olive oil. Gently toss to coat and let it marinate for about 10 minutes. This step helps to remove any gamey smell and adds flavor.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the store-bought steak sauce, oyster sauce, and tomato ketchup. Mix well to create the sauce. Using a pre-made steak sauce makes preparing a delicious sauce much easier. You can add sugar or minced garlic to your preference.
Step 3
Prepare the vegetables and fruits to accompany the steak. Dice the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini into similarly sized cubes. Remove the stems from the cherry tomatoes and cut the pineapple into pieces roughly the same size as the steak. Cooking the fruit will enhance its sweetness and add depth to the dish.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Sautéing the onions first brings out their natural sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 5
Once the onions are slightly translucent, add the diced zucchini and continue to sauté. It’s best to cook the zucchini briefly to maintain a slight crispness, as it can become mushy if overcooked.
Step 6
When the zucchini is partially cooked, add the colorful bell peppers and cherry tomatoes. Stir-fry them quickly over medium-high heat, just until they are slightly tender but still vibrant. Avoid overcooking to keep their texture and color.
Step 7
Prepare another pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the piece of butter and let it melt. Once the butter is melted, add the marinated beef cubes and sear them until golden brown on all sides. The butter will add a wonderful richness to the meat.
Step 8
Once the exterior of the beef is nicely browned, tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak pieces repeatedly (basting). Continue this process until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. This technique helps to keep the inside of the steak moist and flavorful.
Step 9
When the steak is browned on the outside and cooked to your liking inside, cut it into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. Be careful not to cut them too small, as this can cause the juices to escape during cooking.
Step 10
Add the sautéed vegetables and pineapple to the pan with the steak. Toss everything together gently to combine. Heat through for about a minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 11
Finally, pour the prepared steak sauce evenly over the ingredients in the pan. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat everything nicely. Your delicious cube steak is ready! Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
