For the Skillet Base

1 tbsp honey

Instructions
1. Preheat the Skillet
Place the Nutri-Stahl Large Skillet over medium heat. Allow it to preheat for about 2 minutes. Add olive oil.
2. Sear the Beef
Season the beef with salt and black pepper. Add the beef strips to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. Build the Flavor Base
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add Spices
Sprinkle the Moroccan spice blend over the onions and stir well. Allow the spices to toast for about 1 minute to release their aroma.
5. Simmer the Sauce
Add the chopped apricots, beef broth, honey, and lemon juice. Stir and let the mixture simmer for 3–4 minutes to create a lightly thickened sauce.
6. Finish the Dish
Return the beef to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2–3 additional minutes until the beef is tender and heated through.
7. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle toasted almonds and fresh cilantro or parsley on top. Serve with lemon wedges.
