Steak with gravy is a hearty, comforting dish where juicy steak meets a rich, savory gravy. This combination is perfect for a satisfying dinner. Here’s a simple recipe to make steak with gravy:
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional for creamy gravy)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Season and Cook the Steaks:
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest while you make the gravy.
- Make the Gravy:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
- Once melted, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux and becomes lightly golden.
- Add the Liquid:
- Slowly whisk in the beef broth, making sure there are no lumps.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and let the gravy simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
- (Optional) For a creamy gravy, stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Serve:
- Slice the steaks and pour the gravy over the top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Tips:
- Steak doneness: Adjust the cooking time based on how well-done you prefer your steak.
- Gravy variations: For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the gravy while simmering.
- Add mushrooms: Sauté mushrooms along with the onions for a more robust gravy.
