Simple Barbecue Skillet Steak is an easy sirloin steak, or beef roast, cut in strips, pan recipe with rice or mashed potatoes and the best gravy for dinner in less than 30 minutes.
Steak and Mashed Potatoes or Rice
I love making this for dinner in less than 30 minutes. The gravy is so tasty. Really. I just can’t say enough about how much I love this gravy.
Served covering rice or mashed potatoes and this pan steak dinner recipe will not disappoint kids or adults alike!
We never have any leftovers and you won’t either! This simple pan steak recipe disappears so quickly and is total comfort food to me.
I love making this steak and mashed potatoes or rice especially on days when you just need something warm and delicious in your stomach. This recipe will definitely hit the spot!
Pan Steak Recipes
If you are looking for an easy steak and potato recipe for dinner you have come to the right place. This recipe is perfect with mashed, boiled, roasted or baked potatoes or rice.
Any potato will definitely do.
Try baking a potato, slicing deep into the entire potato and squeezing some of the cooked potato up and out of it. Next, dump a spoonful of this wonderful steak or beef and gravy all over it.
All I can say is so good.
Truthfully, this beef mixture was made for potatoes but for those of you that prefer it rice will work just as well. My close friend Julie prefers this dish with rice so maybe you will have to try both and decide for yourself.
She also serves this with quinoa and couscous too and just loves it. I don’t understand her dislike of potatoes and likely never will.
Please take a moment to et me know your thoughts in the comments. As always I am grateful for you taking the time to let me know your opinion.
Easy Steak and Potatoes Recipe
I am always on the hunt for as many easy beef recipes that I can find with as few ingredients as possible. This steak dinner recipe is super simple, ready in less than 30 minutes and uses just a handful of ingredients.
This is exactly what I look for.
Not only do I love the ingredients but I already have all of them in my pantry or fridge. I always have small beef roasts or steaks in my freezer to for that matter.
That means that I can make this fast dinner anytime I pretty much feel like it or my husband requests it.
Luckily, this pan or skillet steak recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes and is perfect for any day of the week. This skillet steak recipe is fast and fabulous, just the way we like them!
Sirloin Steak Strips Recipes
Frequently, I use sirloin steak but round, ribeye, and flank steak will also work beautifully. Even New York Strip or beef tenderloin or filet mignon will work with this skillet steak recipe.
Honestly, I never use beef tenderloin or filet mignon or even a New York Strip steak to make this recipe. I tend to use those cuts for other things like my Brandy Cream Filet Mignon or Baked Garlic Balsamic Steak.
Your other alternative is to pick up a small roast or roasts on sale, cut them up and use ’em to make this weeknight dinner winner whenever you want!
I always figure why spend money unnecessarily and Ken, my husband, loves hearing me say that!
