The obsession with cooking in skillets is real. Sorry, I’m not sorry. Hard to blame me when you get a meal like this skillet steak with spring vegetables. As the names implies, it’s all made in one skillet and is ready and on the table in less than 30 minutes.

If you’re looking for a new way to serve steak I hope you’ll give this a try. So fast and flavorful and perfect for Spring. You may not even miss the baked potato that you’d traditionally serve with steak.

Tender slices of ribeye steak sit a top of a bed of  baby spring peas and thin asparagus spears. It’s all drizzled with a creamy Dijon vinaigrette.

Start with a smoking hot skillet. Sear the steak on both sides. I like my steak medium – rare so that’s 3 minutes on each side. IF you likes yours more or less, adjust the cooking time.

I chose a rib eye steak but you could substitute a sirloin steak.

Once it’s cooked to your preference, set the steak aside to REST. It’s so important to let meat rest before slicing. This way, the juices redistribute themselves and it makes for a juicier tastier bite of beef.

Into the same skillet go the peas and then the asparagus. Once tender, top with the sliced steak and drizzle on the creamy vinaigrette. Cooked and served all in one skillet in less than 30 minutes. You can’t beat that.
