Best 3 Smothered Steak Skillet Recipes

SMOTHERED STEAK SKILLET

Steps:

• Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Place a single layer of garlic cloves on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil, just enough to coat.; wrap tightly.
• Roast in 400 degree F preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft. (This can easily be done in a toaster oven; watch carefully and will take less time.) Unwrap and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with potatoes when they are ready.
• Wash and rinse potatoes under cold water. In large sauce pot, bring potatoes to a slow boil for approximately 20 minutes. The exact time depends on the size of the potatoes used. For faster cooking, cut into smaller pieces. Remove from heat and drain in colander.
• In pan or bowl, combine potatoes, peeled and roasted garlic cloves and all other ingredients and smash with a potato masher; adjust milk and seasonings. Return smashed potatoes to low heat, if necessary to keep warm. (See my suggestion in description about a cast iron pan.).
• Sauteed Onions and Mushrooms: Melt butter in skillet over medium heat and add onions and seasonings. Saute and stir until lightly caramelized. Add sliced mushrooms and stir, as needed to avoid burning, until hot.
• Sirloin Steak Skillet: Grill steaks to desired degree of doneness; slice against the grain. Melt the slices of mozzarella cheese over each shingled steak. Top with onions and mushrooms, and serve with smashed potatoes on the side.

SMOTHERED CHUCK STEAK ELECTRIC SKILLET STYLE

Steps:

• 1. Heat electric skillet to medium and drizzle in some olive oil. Placed seasoned steaks in and brown on both sides. Turn temp down to "Warm" where the light goes on and off every minute or two. Now cover with water and add chopped celery and onion. This is the secret to this melt in your mouth, incredibly flavorful steak. If your temp is too high and the heat light stays on your electric skillet constantly you will have to turn the meat and add water every few minutes to keep it from burning.
• 2. With temp on the Warm setting, seasoned meat covered in water and chopped onion and celery added, cover with lid and allow to simmer for about 20-30 min. Keep an eye on it until you know how often you need to add more water. Each time you add more water turn the meat over. About half way through add about 1 tsp of beef bouillon powder. This will just enrich your broth (gravy).
• 3. Allow to simmer 2- 2 1/2 hours or until steak is fork tender. Make sure you have plenty of water (broth) in pan when you remove steaks.
• 4. GRAVY-remove steak, mix together in a small bowl about 1 c milk and 1 tbsp. cornstarch. Mix together well till no lumps then add to broth ( I had about 3-4 cups of broth). If you have less broth use less milk and cornstarch. Add cornstarch mix to broth and stir while on low heat until thickened. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
