Description
Make tender steak bites smothered in a rich, savory mushroom gravy, all cooked quickly in a single skillet for a comforting family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
- 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil or avocado oil, or butter or ghee
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour or cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add steak bites and season with salt and pepper. Sear steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove steak from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic. Sauté for about one minute until golden.
- Add beef stock, balsamic vinegar, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
- Return steak bites to the skillet. Cover and simmer for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the gravy is heated through and the steak is cooked to your preference.
- In a small container, combine arrowroot flour or cornstarch and cold water. Shake well.
- If using cornstarch, add the slurry to the skillet now. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- If using arrowroot flour, let the steak cook another 1 to 2 minutes after returning it to the pan. Turn the stovetop burner off, pour in the slurry, and stir immediately until the sauce thickens.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle over mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
- For less cooked steak, add the steak bites back to the pan only when the gravy is almost done, allowing them just a minute to warm up.
- You can cook the steak in two batches if your skillet is not large enough to hold all the pieces at once.
