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)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Lightly dredge the steaks in flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Whisk the beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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.
