Skillet Steak Dinner

I have just recently started cooking Steaks in my Cast Iron Skillet. And the results have been surprisingly good. As a kid, my family would go camping and I remember my Mom cooking everything we ate in that skillet. And I remembered that the food was always good. Maybe everything taste better when you are camping.
I was scrolling through the internet for a good Skillet Steak recipe and I came upon this one by https://thestayathomechef.com/skillet-steak-dinner/. To my surprise, there are a lot of recipes out there for your Cast Iron Skillet.
This recipe included adding the veggies right into the skillet. It was one of the easiest recipes that I have made on the stove top. Although the recipe did not include the carrots, I have a tendency to add other veggies that I have on hand.
Not only was this an easy meal, a one pan meal, it was also easy clean up too. And if you know anything about me, you know I like to make recipes that use the least amount of pans. Clean up is not my favorite part of cooking!

Sear steaks in the hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side. Turn the steak onto its side and render the fat by searing it for 2-3 minutes as well. Remove steaks from pan and set aside briefly.

Tips
- I never slide the skillet into the oven, I cook it right on the stove.
