The dish shows a white plate with a base layer of cooked rice mixed with quinoa, giving a textured look with small grains in light brown and dark colors. On top, there are cooked onion slices that are caramelized to a golden-brown color, adding a soft yet slightly crisp layer. The top layer is made of chunky pieces of browned meat covered in a thick, glossy brown sauce. Small bits of green herbs are sprinkled over the dish, adding a fresh touch. A silver fork rests on the right side of the plate, and the setup sits on a white marbled surface with a soft, white cloth in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 tsp coarse sea salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp onion salt
2 tsp dried minced garlic
3 tbsp salted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 tbsp water
1 pound sirloin beef tips
1 tbsp butter
2 tsp Texas Roadhouse steak seasoning
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups water
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Better Than Bouillon beef base
1/4 tsp coarse sea salt
Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Mashed potatoes or Texas Roadhouse seasoned rice (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine coarse sea salt, sugar, black pepper, onion salt, and dried minced garlic to make the mushroom seasoning.
Step 2: In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced mushrooms and onions, then sprinkle with the mushroom seasoning. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and caramelized.
Step 3: Add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Step 4: Transfer just the mushrooms and onions (not the extra sauce) to a separate bowl and cover to keep warm.
Step 5: Season the sirloin beef tips evenly with Texas Roadhouse steak seasoning.
Step 6: Return the skillet to the heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the steak tips.
Step 7: Sear the beef tips for 1-2 minutes on each side until nicely browned but still medium rare. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
Step 8: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. When melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Step 9: Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups water, Worcestershire sauce, beef base, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
Step 10: Simmer the sauce gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken and develop flavor.
Step 11: To serve, plate the mushrooms and onions, top with the steak tips, and pour the gravy over everything. Add a dollop of sour cream if desired and serve with mashed potatoes or Texas Roadhouse seasoned rice.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh mushrooms and yellow onions for the best flavor and texture in the sautéed topping.
Adjust cooking time on the beef tips depending on your preferred doneness; these cook quickly, so watch closely.
If you prefer, grill the steak tips instead of searing them in the pan for a smoky flavor.
For a richer sauce, substitute part of the water with beef broth instead.

Storage

Store leftover steak tips and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from separating. Avoid microwaving as it can dry out the beef.
