Smothered Steak
Directions
- 1Pat the steak dry, drizzle with olive oil, and season generously.
- 2Sear both sides of the seasoned steak in a hot skillet until a nice golden crust forms.
- 3Add sliced onions to the pan with the seared steak.
- 4Add minced garlic to the pan.
- 5Pour a mixture of flour, your favorite seasonings, and water into the pan and stir it all together to start building the gravy.
- 6Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour at 350°F.
- 7After the first hour, remove the foil, flip the steaks, cover again with foil, and return to the oven for another 1 hour and 30 minutes.
