Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

  1. Pat the sirloin cubes dry, toss with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then sear in hot olive oil over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes per side until deeply browned. Work in batches and transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, melt butter in the same pan, and cook the sliced onion for 6 to 8 minutes until soft and lightly golden.
  3. Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute, then sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and thyme, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Return the seared beef and any resting juices to the pan, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the beef is tender and the gravy is thick and glossy.
  5. Spoon over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, scatter fresh parsley over the top, and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe holds well if you need to make it 30 minutes ahead, just keep it on low with the lid on and give it a stir before serving. If you are doubling the recipe, use a wide Dutch oven so the sear still works properly. The flavor is at its best on day two, so do not hesitate to make it the night before a dinner you want to feel easy.
