Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Beefsteak:

  • 4 beef steaks (such as sirloin, ribeye, or your choice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Herbs for garnish (optional)

For the Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Steaks (5 minutes): Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook Steaks (10 minutes): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks to your preferred level of doneness. Once cooked, set them aside and keep them warm.
  3. Start Gravy Base (2 minutes): In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  4. Make Roux for Gravy (3 minutes): Add flour to the melted butter. Stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes to create a roux, until it turns dark brown.
  5. Add Liquid to Gravy (5 minutes): Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder if using.
  6. Simmer Gravy (10 minutes): Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the gravy thickens, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve (2 minutes): Pour the dark brown gravy over the cooked steaks. Serve immediately with an herb garnish.

Notes

For the best flavor, use the drippings from the steak pan for the gravy. The key to a rich gravy is allowing the roux to develop a dark color, which gives depth to the sauce.

This dish pairs well with sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
