Flank Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Season the flank steak with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the flank steak and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the gravy is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Slice the flank steak against the grain and serve with the mushroom gravy spooned over the top.
- Enjoy your delicious flank steak with mushroom gravy!
