Ingredient Quantity
Olive Oil 1 tablespoon
Sirloin Steak, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 1/4 pounds
Salt and Pepper To taste
Ingredient Quantity
Butter 3 tablespoons
Cremini Mushrooms, sliced 8 ounces
Onion, chopped 1/2 cup
Garlic, minced 1 teaspoon
All-Purpose Flour 3 tablespoons
Beef Broth 1 1/2 cups
Worcestershire Sauce 1 tablespoon
Low-Sodium Soy Sauce 2 teaspoons
Chopped Fresh Parsley (optional, for garnish) 1 tablespoon

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Beef:

    • Pat the sirloin steak pieces dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. Sear the Beef:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sirloin steak pieces in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
    • Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan! Sear the beef in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
    • Transfer the seared beef to a plate and set aside.
  3. Make the Gravy:

    • In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown.
    • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Thicken the Gravy:

    • Push the mushrooms and onions to one side of the pan. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the empty space.
    • Whisk in the flour to form a roux (a paste made from fat and flour). Cook for 1 minute to get rid of the raw flour taste.
  5. Simmer and Flavor the Gravy:

    • Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to incorporate the roux. Bring to a simmer.
    • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce for extra flavor.
    • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer the gravy for 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Combine and Serve:

    • Add the seared beef tips and any accumulated juices back into the skillet with the gravy. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
    • Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional).
    • Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Enjoy!
