Grace Love's Savory Smothered Steak Dish

Ingredients

• Spice Rub:
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons powdered honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Steak:
• 2 pounds beef chuck steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 onions, diced
• 2 yellow bell peppers, diced
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• ½ cup water

Step 1

Lightly heat 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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.
