Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless beef steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge the steak in flour, shaking off any excess. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the flour for later use.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil.
Once hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onions and mushrooms. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden.
Sprinkle the reserved 1 tablespoon of flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the steak to the skillet, nestling it into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the steak is tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and allow it to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the smothered steak hot, with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.
