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.
