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.

Serve the steaks smothered in the onion gravy

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Steaks First 💧
Pat steaks completely dry with paper towels before seasoning and searing to achieve a perfect golden crust that locks in juices and develops superior flavor.
Build Fond for Deeper Gravy 🍲
After removing steaks, deglaze the pan with beef stock by scraping up the browned bits (fond) to create a richly flavored, umami-packed gravy base.
Temper Your Heavy Cream 🥛
Warm the heavy cream separately before adding it to your hot gravy to prevent curdling and ensure a silky, smooth sauce every time.
Slice Against the Grain 🔪
Cut steaks against the grain after resting to break down muscle fibers and maximize tenderness, making each bite melt in your mouth.
Finish with Garlic-Infused Butter 🧈
Whisk a knob of butter mixed with minced garlic into your finished gravy for enhanced richness and a sophisticated aromatic finish that elevates the entire dish.
