Instructions

1
In a large bowl, season the steak generously with hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and about half of the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and garlic & herb seasoning. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated.
2
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
3
Carefully place the seasoned steak in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Brown the steak on both sides.
4
While the steak browns, prepare the vegetables by dicing the onion, bell pepper, and celery.
5
Once all the steak is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Add the diced vegetables to the same pot.
6
Sauté the vegetables, scraping up all the browned bits (fond) from the bottom of the pot. Cook until the vegetables are soft and have absorbed the flavor.
7
Use a potato masher to lightly mash the cooked vegetables in the pot, helping to create a thicker base for the gravy.
8
Add a splash of water to deglaze the pan, then add the minced garlic and sauté for one minute until fragrant.
9
Return the browned steak to the pot.
10
Pour in enough water to just cover the steak and vegetables.
11
Season the gravy with the remaining Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, garlic & herb seasoning, and the dried parsley. Stir to combine.
12
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook low and slow for at least 2-3 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender and the gravy has thickened.
13
Serve the smothered steak and onion gravy hot over a bed of cooked white rice.
