Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless beef steaks (such as ribeye, sirloin, or strip)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let the steaks come to room temperature while you prepare the ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or longer depending on your desired doneness). Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate, loosely covered with foil to rest.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stirring continuously to coat the onions evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and taste the gravy, adjusting the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy. Spoon some of the gravy over the steaks and let them heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired, and serve the skillet steaks with onion gravy hot, alongside mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
