Don’t you just love one pot dinners?
I do. Stir fries, crockpot cooking, sheet pan dinners, all make cooking and clean up so much easier.
This skillet dinner is one of those flavorful and easy one pan wonders. Strips of steak share the skillet with red bell peppers, roma tomatoes, red onions, garlic, mushrooms and black beans. All seasoned with simple ingredients; salt, pepper, paprika and steak sauce! Simply served over a bed of rice and dinner is ready in a matter of minutes.
This dish is similar to a stir fry, except the ingredients braise in the skillet a little longer.
Aside from the black beans, it’s almost like eating your favorite steak sandwich in a bowl!
What’s to love?
- Strips of tender steak.
- Sweet red bell peppers and soft caramelized onions.
- Earthy mushrooms and tender black beans.
- A sweet, tangy, rich, tomatoe-y “gravy”.
I love serving this with a little steak sauce on the side. And pork and chicken would work well here, too!
Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Invite one to stay.

I love the different ways you use black beans! I love them, but tend to not get as creative with them.
This recipe sounds delicious!
