Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) beef steaks (sirloin or round)
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Lightly dredge the steaks in flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until deeply browned. Remove the steaks and set them on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
Whisk the beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.
Return the steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the steaks are tender and cooked to your desired doneness.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the smothered steaks hot, topped with the rich mushroom gravy, and garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables for a complete meal.
