Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. In a small bowl, combine sea salt, garlic salt, black pepper, brown sugar, powdered honey, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the spice rub.

  3. Take 2 tablespoons of the spice rub and use it to season the steak on all sides.

  4. Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the onions until they start to become translucent, which should take about 3 minutes.

  5. Add the bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until tender, approximately 3 minutes.

  6. Clear a space in the center of the skillet and add the seasoned steak. Cook until the surface of the steak begins to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the steak.

  7. Pour water into the skillet and cover it with aluminum foil.

  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the steak pulls apart easily when pierced with a fork.

  9. If desired, you can substitute vegetable stock for the water.

  10. Please note that the nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the spice rub. The actual amount consumed may vary.
