Ingredients

• 1 pound ground sirloin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from canned chipotle peppers in adobo)
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick. Dredge each patty lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the sliced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 6

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour used for dredging into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir well to form a roux and cook for 1 minute.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Add the adobo sauce and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Taste the gravy and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 9

Return the sirloin patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through.

Step 10

Serve the smothered sirloin steaks hot, topped with the adobo gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy with mashed potatoes or steamed rice.
