A comforting Southern-style dish featuring tender round and seven steak simmered in a rich gravy made from diced onions, bell peppers, and celery, seasoned with Cajun spices, and served over freshly cooked rice.
1. Season the steak heavily with Britscookin’ Cajun seasoning, Britscookin’ Garlic & Herb, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. (I didn’t measure the seasonings here—just sprinkle until it looks like enough.)
2. Heat a heavy-bottomed pot, like aluminum or cast iron, over medium-high heat. Sear the steak until browned on both sides. Remove the steak, place it in a large bowl, and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, bell peppers, and celery. Stir to pick up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add a splash of water to deglaze.
4. Cook until the onions are soft, then mash the vegetables with a potato masher. (This is what makes the gravy, in my opinion!) Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
5. Return the seared steak to the pot, along with any juices. Use the same bowl the steak was in to measure 8 cups of water, then pour it into the pot.
6. Season again with parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, beef bouillon, and Cajun seasoning.
7. Let it simmer with the lid off for about an hour and a half, then cover with a lid and cook low and slow for another hour and a half, stirring occasionally.
8. Serve over freshly cooked rice and enjoy!
