Main Ingredients

For the Onion Gravy

Optional Garnish

Method

Preparing the Steak

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Sprinkle the beef steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the pan and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Making the Onion Gravy

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Gravy

    Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 5

    Thicken the Gravy

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Combine Steak and Gravy

    Return the seared steaks to the skillet with the gravy. Spoon the gravy over the steaks and let them simmer together for an additional 3-5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the smothered steaks before serving. Enjoy your smothered steak with your choice of sides!
