steak and gravy recipe

Description
This easy steak and gravy recipe uses sirloin and creates a rich, smoky red pepper sauce. It’s a flavorful and comforting meal ready in under 30 minutes, offering a gourmet twist on traditional brown gravy.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless beef sirloin steaks (7 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef stock
- 7 oz roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep and Sear Steaks: Pat the beef steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a deep crust forms. Remove steaks and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to rest.
- Make Gravy Base: Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 more minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw taste.
- Simmer and Blend Gravy: Gradually whisk in the beef stock to prevent lumps. Add chopped roasted red peppers and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until mostly smooth, retaining a slight texture. Return gravy to the pan.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in apple cider vinegar (if using) and adjust seasoning. Return seared steaks to the pan with the gravy and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to warm through. Rest steaks again before slicing against the grain. Serve sliced steak topped with gravy and garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
To achieve a perfect crust, make sure the steaks are completely dry before searing. Resting the steaks after searing and again after warming through in the gravy ensures maximum tenderness and juiciness. To ensure a smooth gravy, whisk in the stock slowly and blend thoroughly.
