Instructions
- Set a large 14-inch cast iron skillet (or sauté pan) over high heat. Place a holding plate off to the side.
- Salt and pepper the steak generously on both sides.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the steaks, making sure they all fit in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes per side. (1 minute per side for thinner steaks, 2-3 minutes per side for steaks over 1 inch thick.)
- Remove the steaks and place them on the holding plate. Add 1 tablespoon butter, sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Sear the vegetables for 2-3 minutes to soften. Then move them to the holding plate.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the flour. Whisk to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes. Then whisk in the sugar, balsamic vinegar, beef base, and water. Whisk as the gravy thickens. Add the heavy cream and whisk well. If the gravy seems too thick add another splash of water.
- Move the steaks, veggies, and all the juices back to the skillet. Move the steaks around the pan to coat in gravy and rewarm, for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve warm with mashed potatoes or your favorite low carb side.
Notes
- You can use any kind of steak you like. Just be sure they are not too thick for this recipe. Although I love a thick juicy steak, it’s best to smother steaks you can cook very quick.
- Leftovers will keep well stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
