Baked Steak with Peppers & Onions

Tender, Flavor-Packed Oven-Stewed Steaks

If you’re looking for a comforting, soul-satisfying way to enjoy steak, this baked version is it. These thinly sliced steaks are first seared in a cast iron skillet for flavor, then smothered in seasoned peppers and onions, and baked low and slow until fall-apart tender. It’s the kind of recipe that turns a humble cut into a showstopper meal.

The magic happens in the oven, where the seasoned broth and veggies soak into the beef, building a rich, savory base perfect for serving over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Ingredients

• Thinly sliced steak
• Worcestershire sauce
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic powder
• Complete seasoning
• Black pepper seasoning
• Avocado oil
• 1 large onion, sliced

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Season the Steaks

• Generously season both sides of the steak with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, complete seasoning, and black pepper seasoning.

Step 2: Sear the Steaks

• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in avocado oil.
• Once hot, sear the steaks for about 1.5 minutes per side, then remove from the pan.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies

• In the same skillet, sprinkle in the same seasonings used for the steak.
• Add sliced onions and bell peppers and sauté until just softened and fragrant.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

• Return the seared steaks to the pan, nestling them under the sautéed onions and peppers.
• Pour in the beef broth to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F for 2.5 hours.
