Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into bite-sized cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups beef broth

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 cup sour cream (optional for a creamy version)

Cooked egg noodles or rice (for serving)

Instructions
 

Sear the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the beef in batches (do not overcrowd) and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Deglaze the Pan: If you're using mushrooms, add them to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they're softened. Then, sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to remove the raw flavor.

        Make the Gravy: Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Add Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

          Add the Beef: Return the seared beef to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow it to simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The gravy will thicken as it simmers.

            Creamy Option: If you prefer a creamy gravy, stir in the sour cream just before serving. Mix until fully incorporated and heated through.

              Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve over cooked egg noodles or rice.
