How To Make steak and cheese skillet

  • 1
    Add 1 tablespoon oil to oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Keeping heat high enough brown steak. Remove from skillet, cover and keep warm.
  • 2
    Add another tablespoon of oil to skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and peppers; cook for 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned on edges. Stir several times. Remove from pan and place over beef, cover and keep warm.
  • 3
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 4
    Add 1/2 tablespoon canola oil to skillet over low heat; add garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring several times. Add brandy and cook to reduce volume by half. Add ginger, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mirin, sriracha and ketchup. Simmer 5 minutes.
  • 5
    Add steak, onions and peppers back to the skillet. Top with cheese. Place in oven for 5 minutes. Turn oven to low broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  • 6
    Cover the handle of the skillet before placing in oven if it is not an oven proof skillet. Be careful adding the brandy as it is flammable. Mirin is sweetened sake and is available at some finer grocery stores in the oriental food section. You can substitute 3 teaspoons sherry and 1 teaspoon sugar combined.
