Ingredients
- Beef sirloin or tenderloin: Choose a well-marbled cut for the juiciest most flavorful bites. The tenderness of the meat makes this dish shine
- Olive oil: Provides a robust base and helps sear the beef to a perfect crust. Pick cold-pressed for the best flavor
- Onion: Diced for a mellow sweetness and essential to the gravy. Look for onions with firm dry skins
- Garlic: Minced to infuse the dish with aromatic depth. Fresh garlic cloves give the best flavor
- Mushrooms: Sliced for an earthy meaty texture. Use cremini or baby bellas for extra richness
- Beef broth: The backbone of your gravy. Choose low-sodium to better control the saltiness
- All-purpose flour: Thickens the gravy and creates that luscious texture. Opt for an unbleached kind if possible
- Worcestershire sauce: A splash adds complex umami notes. Go for a quality brand for the most balanced result
- Salt and pepper to taste: Enhances every flavor component
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish): A little color and freshness to finish it off
