Instructions

Pat the steaks dry with paper towel, then seasoning with steak seasoning or seasoning salt.

Place the olive oil and 2 Tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium heat and once hot, add the flour-coated chicken.

Cook the steaks for 4-6 minutes on each side, until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Remove the steaks to a clean plate and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Once hot, add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes, adding broth as needed to prevent them from burning.

Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes before adding the remaining chicken stock and heavy cream.

Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce to low heat to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Return the steaks to the skillet during this simmering period.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Steaks Thoroughly 🏜️
Pat steaks completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure a golden, caramelized crust that locks in juices and develops deep umami flavors.
Brown Steaks First, Remove, Then Build Gravy 🍳
Sear steaks in butter and oil until deeply browned, then set aside before making the gravy—this prevents the meat from overcooking while you develop rich fond in the pan.
Caramelize Onions and Garlic Slowly 🧅
Cook onions and garlic over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant, allowing their natural sugars to release for a sweeter, more complex gravy base.
Deglaze with Beef Stock for Maximum Flavor 🥘
Pour beef stock into the hot pan to scrape up all the caramelized browned bits (fond), which contain concentrated umami that transforms your gravy from ordinary to extraordinary.
Temper Heavy Cream to Prevent Breaking 🍶
Slowly whisk heavy cream into the warm gravy off-heat or at low temperature to prevent curdling, ensuring a silky, luxurious sauce that perfectly coats the steaks.
