  • Slice your onion into medium size pieces. You can slice them larger if you prefer.

  • Slice your mushroom a little under ½" slices. I like the mushrooms to come through in the gravy.

  • Heat your high smoke point oil on high heat for 3-4 minutes. You want your oil to be nice and hot so you get a nice sear on your steak. Add in your beef in two batches. Quickly spread the beef out and cook untouched for 30 seconds.

  • Flip over and sear for another 30 seconds. Don't cook it longer than 30 seconds or you will get chewy beef. It's ok if there are some pink spots. It will finish cooking in the sauce. Remove your beef and set aside.
