The Perfect Steak

Choosing the right cut of steak is essential for this recipe. Sirloin steak is an excellent choice due to its balance of flavor and tenderness. It’s a versatile cut that cooks quickly, making it perfect for a one-pan meal. When selecting your steak, look for a piece with good marbling, as this will enhance the flavor and juiciness of the meat. Remember, letting the steak rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent bite.

To achieve the perfect sear on your steak, ensure your skillet is hot before adding the meat. This initial high heat creates a beautiful crust while sealing in the juices. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130°F (54°C). If you're unsure, a meat thermometer can be a helpful tool to achieve your desired doneness.

Savory Mushroom Gravy

The mushroom gravy is what elevates this dish from simple steak to a gourmet experience. Using fresh mushrooms adds a depth of flavor that complements the richness of the beef. Sautéing the mushrooms until golden not only enhances their taste but also brings out their natural umami flavors, making the gravy irresistible.

Incorporating heavy cream at the end of the gravy preparation gives it a luxurious texture and richness. This creamy sauce clings to the steak beautifully, making each bite a delightful combination of savory and creamy. Feel free to adjust the thickness of the gravy by varying the amount of flour or broth, ensuring it suits your personal preference.

Serving Suggestions

This One-Pan Sirloin Steak Mushroom Gravy pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. Classic choices include creamy mashed potatoes or buttery rice, which can soak up the delicious gravy. For a lighter option, consider serving it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the dish.

If you're looking to enhance the meal further, a glass of red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, complements the steak beautifully. The wine's tannins cut through the richness of the gravy, enhancing the overall dining experience. Don’t forget to garnish your plate with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

Ingredients

For the Steak and Gravy

1 lb sirloin steak
2 cups mushrooms, sliced

Gather all your ingredients before you start cooking for a smoother experience.

Instructions

Sear the Steak

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the sirloin steak with salt and pepper, then add it to the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned.

Make the Gravy

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream.

Combine and Serve

Slice the rested steak and return it to the skillet, allowing it to soak in the gravy for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your choice of sides.

Tips for Success

To ensure your steak is flavorful, allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking. A simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, and herbs can make a significant difference. Additionally, always let your meat come to room temperature before cooking, as this promotes even cooking.

When making the gravy, be sure to gradually add the beef broth while stirring. This prevents lumps from forming and ensures a smooth and creamy sauce. If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can mix the flour with a bit of broth first to create a slurry before adding it to the pan.

Storing and Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors will continue to meld, making the dish even more delicious upon reheating. To reheat, simply warm it gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth if needed to loosen the gravy.

If you want to freeze the dish, consider separating the steak and gravy. The gravy freezes well, while the steak is best enjoyed fresh. When ready to eat, thaw the gravy overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it on the stove, slicing fresh steak to serve alongside.
