Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) Beef sirloin steak
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1.5 cups Unsalted beef stock
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small Shallot, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the sirloin steaks dry with a paper towel. Rub each steak with olive oil, then season with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side (for medium rare) or until they reach the desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest covered with foil.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped shallot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until they release their juices and become tender.

Step 5

Pour in the unsalted beef stock and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally to deglaze the pan and incorporate all the flavorful bits from the steak.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Step 7

Taste the gravy and adjust with additional black pepper or thyme if desired. Avoid adding salt to keep the recipe low sodium.

Step 8

Place the rested steaks back in the skillet to reheat briefly, spooning the gravy over the top.

Step 9

Garnish the steaks with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
