Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Beef sirloin steak
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 cups Unsalted beef stock
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small Shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Pat the sirloin steaks dry with a paper towel. Rub each steak with olive oil, then season with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side (for medium rare) or until they reach the desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest covered with foil.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped shallot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until they release their juices and become tender.
Pour in the unsalted beef stock and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally to deglaze the pan and incorporate all the flavorful bits from the steak.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Taste the gravy and adjust with additional black pepper or thyme if desired. Avoid adding salt to keep the recipe low sodium.
Place the rested steaks back in the skillet to reheat briefly, spooning the gravy over the top.
Garnish the steaks with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
