Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes, seasoning with salt and pepper, and sear them until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually add in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Return the browned beef to the skillet and add dried thyme. Stir to coat the beef in the gravy. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
