Ingredients
Scale
1½ lbs beef sirloin or chuck steak, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, optional
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Season the beef. Pat the sliced beef dry and season with onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brown the beef. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Cook the onions. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Make the gravy. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir for about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–5 minutes until thickened.
Return the beef. Add the browned beef and any accumulated juices back to the skillet. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, until the beef is heated through and coated in the gravy.
Finish and serve. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with fresh thyme and parsley.
Notes
Serving idea: Serve this hearty beef and onion gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or warm buttered biscuits.
