Steak and Sautéed Vegetables in Coconut Aminos



Our favourite weekend meal is now a steak and sautéed vegetables instead of having a gluten-free pizza night.  We are trying to eat more paleo meals that are free of grains and soy.  This is not so much a recipe as a quick meal idea.  

My husband prefers to make steak in a cast iron grill pan because it tastes much better than a grilled steak on the barbecue.  Start by preheating an oven to a high heat (425 - 450 degrees).  Then pound/tenderize a steak and season it with sea salt and pepper.  Oil the hot cast iron skillet with some coconut oil on the stove-top.  On high heat, sear the steak for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side.  Lastly, put the whole pan in the preheated oven and cook for about 2 minutes each side.

While he is making the steak, I sauté the vegetables.  Oil a frying pan with coconut oil.  Chop and sauté the vegetables in a couple of tablespoons of water and a tablespoon of coconut aminos.  Coconut aminos is a substitute for soy sauce that is suitable for people who follow a paleo diet or are allergic to soy.  I found coconut aminos at Community Natural Foods in Calgary.  I like the flavour of coconut aminos with asparagus, mushrooms and yellow peppers.  You could vary the vegetables according to your own taste.  Enjoy!
