Some Tips

As I was writing this, I realized a few things I could add for clarification or variation.
For example, you can choose whatever vegetables you would like.
You can also use whatever type of steak you like. I used sirloin because that’s what was on sale that week. You could even make it with a different kind of meat, I suppose.
My husband is a big eater, so I used 20 ounces of steak and 1 1/2 cups of each vegetable. I also added four slices of bacon. And we had enough leftovers for him to have a snack the next day. But I think this meal could easily feed four people (unless everyone eats as much as my hubby, lol).
This meal is not an exact science. By all means, if you are not a big meat eater, you can use less than 1 lb of steak. And you can make more vegetables if you prefer.
Generally, if you are making this skillet with 1 lb. of steak and 1 cup of each vegetable, you can use a 10-inch skillet. But any more than that, I would use a 12-inch.
Certainly, you can make this in any type of skillet; it doesn’t have to be cast iron.
I use minced garlic from a jar, but that’s because I like easy. You may prefer using a clove of garlic.
Because you are cooking this meal at 450 degrees, I recommend using a high smoke point oil such as avocado. Safflower, corn, or peanut oil are also good choices, to name a few. For more options, see The Importance of Smoke Point.
As I said, I use Johnny’s Seasoned Pepper, but any pepper will do. I also wrote a review on this product.
I realize you might want to eat something with your skillet; that meat and vegetables aren’t enough. So, you could add rolls or rice; maybe some fruit. We had rolls.
What do you think would go well with this meal?
How about watermelon?
