- Cook Your Protein: Start by searing your protein in a hot pan with a bit of oil. Season it generously with your favorite herbs and spices, ensuring it gets a good, golden-brown crust. Depending on the type of protein, you can finish cooking it in the oven or keep it on the stovetop.
- Prepare the Veggies: While the protein is cooking, sauté or roast your vegetables. You can use a mix of fresh or frozen veggies, depending on what you have on hand. If using root vegetables like carrots or potatoes, make sure to chop them into even pieces so they cook evenly.
- Create the Flavor Base: Once your protein and veggies are cooked, it’s time to bring everything together. You can deglaze the pan with a splash of broth, wine, or vinegar to incorporate all the flavor from the seared protein. Add in any sauce components you’d like, such as tomato sauce, soy sauce, or a creamy element, and let it simmer for a few minutes to develop the flavor.
- Combine and Serve: Layer your protein over the base of rice or mashed potatoes, and top it with the veggies and sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, and serve hot for a delicious, satisfying meal.
