When you want a hearty meal it doesn’t have to be complicated! Making a simple skillet steak with pepper gravy is a quick and easy way to get a delicious meal on the table!

My family simply loves steak and for that reason, I love it too! But for those days where I’d rather not fire up the grill, this Simple Skillet Steak with Pepper Gravy is the ticket to a simple but delicious dinner that everyone will devour.  Making steak in a cast iron skillet takes a bit of practice but will yield deliciously easy results.

Which steak is best for pan frying?

  • ribeye (which is what I chose)
  • sirloin
  • filet
  • skirt steak

Any of these would be great options!  In fact, sometimes I will even make a strip steak in my skillet.  But for this time, I had ribeyes on hand, and you just can’t go wrong with ribeye.

Now… how do you cook steaks in a cast iron skillet?

  • start by getting the skillet nice and hot!
  • get those steaks seasoned and then add some butter/oil to the pan
  • get a nice sear/crust on each side then reduce heat to let them continue to cook through
  • use a meat thermometer to make sure you get them to the perfect temperature

And of course, you just can’t have a skillet steak without a delicious pan gravy!

How do you make pan gravy?

  • remove the steak and let it rest
  • add a thickener (flour or cornstarch)
  • add broth or diary depending on the type of gravy you want
  • let simmer and thicken with the leftovers from the pan into a delicious gravy
