Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 large Yellow onions
• 3 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the beef chuck steaks with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Dredge the seasoned beef in the all-purpose flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the beef steaks for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Work in batches if needed. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Slice the yellow onions into thin rings.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Sprinkle a tablespoon of the leftover flour (from dredging) over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 8

Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir evenly to combine.

Step 9

Return the beef steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water or broth if the gravy becomes too thick.

Step 11

Once the beef is tender, stir in the unsalted butter to add a silky finish to the gravy.

Step 12

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Serve the smothered beef and onions hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
