  • 1 1/2 to 2 Ib Sirloin Steaks
  • 8 oz Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1/2 Onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 Red Bell Pepper thinly sliced

  • 14.5 oz Can Low-sodium Beef broth You may need 2 cans or use water instead
  • Cornstarch slurry 1 Tbsp Cornstarch & 2 Tbsps Water Thickens Gravy
  • Tip: Optional - The Lipton Beefy Onion Soup & Dip mix I like to add a pinch to the gravy if I have on hand.

Instructions
 

  • Clean & prep the sirloin steaks. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Add a few squirts of the Worcestershire sauce to the meat & season with the dry seasonings (Season both sides).
  • Tip: For the dry seasonings: Just season lightly & add enough Worcestershire sauce to coat the steaks. Rub the seasonings & sauce into the meat.
  • Optional: Let the meat marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a pot or skillet, add the olive oil & allow it to get hot.
  • Add the steaks and sear on both sides. Allow the meat to cook until browned which should take about 3 to 5 minutes each side.
  • Next, add the veggies: Sliced onion, bell peppers, & garlic.
  • Add the beef broth and allow the liquid to come to a boil.
  • Lower the heat, cover pot with a lid, and allow the meat to cook until tender.
  • Note: Cooking time will vary depending on thickness / cut of meat etc.
  • The meat should cook for a few hours until soft/tender, so throughout the cooking time check the liquid and add extra water/broth if needed.
  • When the steak is almost done, add the cornstarch slurry to thicken up the gravy.
  • Tip: Do a taste test of the gravy and adjust with the same dry seasonings if needed.
  • Once the meat is tender, add the mushrooms and cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
  • The meat should be fully cooked. Check for doneness with a thermometer if unsure. but the steak will be soft/tender.
  • Serve over a bed of rice or creamy mashed potatoes, enjoy!
