Technique to learn

Blackening

A high-heat cooking method where seasoned meat is seared in a hot pan to form a dark, flavorful crust.

Instructions

Step 1: Toss the cubed halal beef tenderloin with 1.5 tablespoons of blackening spice until evenly coated.
Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Step 3: Add the spiced beef in a single layer and sear for 3 to 4 minutes without moving to build a charred crust, then flip and sear for another 2 minutes before transferring to a plate.

Step 4: Lower skillet heat to medium, add the remaining oil, and cook the diced sweet potatoes for 8 minutes until edges brown and center softens.

Step 5: Stir in the diced yellow onion, red bell pepper, sliced okra, remaining blackening spice, and salt, cooking for 6 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Step 6: Return the seared beef tips to the skillet, toss gently with the hash for 2 minutes to warm through, and serve hot.

Cooking tips

Using a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet ensures high heat conduction necessary for blackening without burning.
Pat the beef dry before applying spices so a brown crust forms quickly.
