Seared Steak with Wild Rice and Roasted Asparagus
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 pieces of steak (6 oz each)
- 1 cup wild rice
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the wild rice according to package instructions.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the steaks.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steaks are resting, toss the trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
- In the same skillet used for the steaks, pour in the balsamic vinegar and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to make a sauce.
- To serve, divide the cooked wild rice among 4 plates. Place a seared steak on top of the rice and arrange the roasted asparagus alongside. Drizzle the balsamic sauce over the steak and enjoy!
Seared Steak with Wild Rice and Roasted Asparagus is a classic dish that has been enjoyed for generations. The dish is a perfect combination of tender, juicy steak, nutty wild rice, and flavorful roasted asparagus. It has its roots in traditional American cuisine, with a focus on simple, high-quality ingredients and bold flavors. This dish has been a staple in many high-end restaurants, where talented chefs have put their own unique spin on the classic recipe. The seared steak is often seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, then cooked to perfection to achieve a mouthwatering crust and a tender, juicy interior. The wild rice adds a nutty and chewy texture, while the roasted asparagus brings a deliciously charred and slightly sweet flavor to the dish. One of the best versions of this dish can be found in the Midwest, where the steak is often sourced from local farms and the wild rice is harvested from nearby fields. The emphasis on fresh, local ingredients elevates the dish to a whole new level. When making this dish at home, it's important to choose a high-quality cut of steak and to cook it to the perfect level of doneness. The wild rice should be cooked until tender but still slightly chewy, and the asparagus should be roasted until it's just tender and slightly caramelized. For a unique twist on this classic dish, consider grilling the steak instead of searing it, or swapping out the wild rice for a different grain like quinoa or farro. No matter how you prepare it, Seared Steak with Wild Rice and Roasted Asparagus is a timeless and satisfying meal that is sure to impress.
