Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Pat the sirloin steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear on both sides for 3-4 minutes each to create a golden crust. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted, add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme sprigs to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Return the sirloin steak to the skillet, spoon some of the gravy over it, and cover with a lid. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 30-35 minutes, turning the steak halfway through. This allows the meat to tenderize and soak up the flavors.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Remove the thyme sprigs from the skillet, then stir the cornstarch slurry into the gravy. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Slice the sirloin steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with the thickened gravy drizzled over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
