Large skillet for cooking steak
Medium saucepan for making gravy
Medium pot for boiling potatoes
Potato masher or hand mixer for mashing potatoes
Measuring spoons and cups
Spatula or tongs for handling steak
- For the Steak and Gravy:
- 2 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks or your favorite cut
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk optional for creamier gravy
- For the Mashed Potatoes:
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a medium pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Cook the Steaks
While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook the steaks for about 3-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare) or longer for your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
Make the Gravy
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of flour to the remaining steak drippings. Stir the flour for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add heavy cream or milk (if desired) to make the gravy creamier. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens to your liking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Meal
Place the mashed potatoes on each plate and top with the cooked steak. Pour the rich gravy over the steak and mashed potatoes.
Enjoy!
Dig into this hearty meal and enjoy the tender steak, flavorful gravy, and creamy mashed potatoes. This dish is sure to satisfy your cravings for a comforting, filling dinner.
