Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasoning
- 1 pound beef tenderloin tips, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Season the Beef: Cut the beef tenderloin into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Let the beef come to room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Sear the Beef: Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Arrange the beef cubes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Sear the meat for about 2 minutes per side until browned and an internal temperature of 120°F is reached. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: Reduce the heat to medium. Melt butter in the same skillet and add the sliced mushrooms and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Create the Gravy Base: Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Add garlic paste, ground sage, and thyme, stirring well to combine and release flavors.
- Add Liquids: Gradually pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring constantly. Let the gravy simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the seared beef to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Continue cooking until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare doneness.
- Add Cream and Serve: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the heavy cream to enrich the gravy. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Before serving, taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper for balanced seasoning.
- Use your favorite steak seasoning blend instead of just salt and pepper for extra flavor.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to complete the meal.
- To reheat leftovers, microwave individual portions until warmed through to retain moisture and flavor.
