🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1.5 pounds beef steak (sirloin, cube, or round)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. In a shallow dish, mix together flour, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.

2. Coat each steak evenly with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Reserve the remaining flour mixture for later.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Sear the steaks in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steaks and set them aside on a plate.

5. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

6. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture over the onions and mushrooms, stirring well to coat.

7. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and stir until combined.

8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and return the steaks to the skillet.

9. Cover the skillet with a lid, and let the steaks cook in the gravy for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender.

10. Stir in the heavy cream, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the gravy is rich and creamy.

11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
