Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chuck steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 large Onion
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the chuck steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the onion into thick rings and add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Deglaze the skillet by adding beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
Return the seared chuck steak to the skillet, placing it on top of the onions. Add the fresh thyme sprigs.
Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil, then transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the chuck steak is fork-tender.
Once cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Remove the chuck steak and onions, and set them aside to rest.
Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the liquid in the skillet to thicken the gravy. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Serve the chuck steak topped with the onion rings and drizzled with the thickened gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
