01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, garlic salt, black pepper, brown sugar, powdered honey, cayenne, and red pepper flakes to create a flavorful spice rub. Take about two tablespoons of this rub and coat your steak evenly on all sides.

Step 2
Next, heat some oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions and cook them for about three minutes until they start to look translucent. Then add the bell peppers and mushrooms, sautéing everything together until the veggies are tender, which should take another three minutes or so.

Step 3
Push the veggies to the sides of the skillet to make room in the center, then place your seasoned steak right there. Let it cook until the surface starts to brown, around 3 to 4 minutes, then flip it over. Pour some water into the pan—just enough to cover the bottom—and cover the skillet tightly with foil.

Step 4
Pop the whole skillet into your preheated oven and let it cook low and slow for 45 minutes to an hour. You’ll know it’s ready when the steak is so tender it pulls apart easily with a fork.
