Grace Love’s Smothered Steak

Ingredients

• Spice Rub:
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 1/2 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
• 1/2 cup water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine sea salt, garlic salt, black pepper, brown sugar, powdered honey, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to make spice rub.

Measure out 2 tablespoons of the spice rub and use to season steak on all sides.

Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until they start to become translucent, about 3 minutes. Add bell peppers and mushrooms; saute until tender, about 3 minutes.

Clear a space in the center of the skillet; add seasoned steak. Cook until surface of the steak starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip steak. Pour water into the skillet and cover with aluminum foil.

Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and cook until steak pulls apart when pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
