This comforting dish brings tender, flavorful steak smothered in a rich, savory sauce that’s perfect for any meal. Easy to make and full of heartwarming flavors, it’s sure to become a family favorite in no time.
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together sea salt, garlic salt, black pepper, brown sugar, powdered honey, cayenne, and red pepper flakes to create a flavorful spice rub. Take about 2 tablespoons of this mix and rub it all over the steak, making sure it’s well coated.
Heat some oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions first and cook them until they start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the bell peppers and mushrooms, cooking everything together until the veggies are nice and tender, another 3 minutes or so.
Push the veggies aside to clear a spot in the middle of the skillet and place the seasoned steak there. Let it cook without moving it until it browns on one side, around 3 to 4 minutes, then flip it over. Pour some water into the skillet and cover it tightly with aluminum foil.
Pop the whole skillet into the oven and let it cook until the steak is so tender it easily falls apart when poked with a fork—this usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Use a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan for even cooking and better browning.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
- Add a splash of beef broth or water if the gravy becomes too thick while simmering.
This dish is full of rich, comforting flavors that make every bite satisfying. The tender steak combined with the savory gravy creates a perfect balance that feels like a warm hug on a plate. It’s a great meal to share with family and friends.
Serve this hearty dish over creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered egg noodles. A side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad pairs well to add freshness and balance the richness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little broth if needed to keep the gravy smooth. Avoid freezing if possible, as the texture may change.
