- 2 tbsp water
Steak
- 1 pound sirloin beef tips
- 2 tsp Texas Roadhouse steak seasoning
- 1 tbsp butter
Gravy
- 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
Serving Suggestions
- Dollop of sour cream (optional)
- Mashed potatoes or Texas Roadhouse seasoned rice
- Prepare Mushroom Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the coarse sea salt, sugar, black pepper, onion salt, and dried minced garlic. This seasoning mix will be used to flavor the mushrooms and onions.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: Melt 3 tablespoons of salted butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and yellow onion. Sprinkle the prepared mushroom seasoning over them. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and onions are caramelized, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Deglaze Pan: Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and stir well to loosen all the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove Mushrooms and Onions: Transfer just the mushrooms and onions to a separate bowl or pan, avoiding any extra liquid or sauce. Cover them to keep warm.
- Season the Steak Tips: Coat the sirloin beef tips evenly with the Texas Roadhouse steak seasoning to ensure flavor penetration.
- Cook Steak Tips: Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet used for mushrooms. Once melted, add the steak tips. Sear them for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until nicely browned but not overcooked. The steak bites cook quickly to medium-rare. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
- Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. When melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to form a roux.
- Add Liquid Ingredients: Gradually whisk in 1½ cups water, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon beef base, and ¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce.
- Simmer the Gravy: Let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken and concentrate the flavors.
- Assemble and Serve: Plate the warm mushrooms and onions, top with the seared steak tips, then spoon the rich gravy over everything. Serve the dish with a dollop of sour cream and a side of mashed potatoes or Texas Roadhouse seasoned rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Do not overcook the steak tips; they only need 1-2 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Better Than Bouillon beef base is recommended for a rich depth of flavor but can be substituted with beef broth if unavailable.
- Keeping mushrooms and onions warm separately prevents them from becoming soggy before serving.
- Searing steak tips in a skillet offers a quick and easy alternative to grilling while still achieving a delicious crust.
- For an even thicker gravy, cook the flour and butter roux a little longer before adding the liquid.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
