Here’s how to create this delicious meal with Hines Meat Co.’s premium chuck eye steak.
Ingredients:
For the Steak:
- 2 Hines Meat Co. Chuck Eye Steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
For the Mushroom Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steaks:
- Pat the chuck eye steaks dry with paper towels.
- Rub the steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the Steaks:
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F. Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, tented with foil.
- Prepare the Mushroom Gravy:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
- Once melted, add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Slice the rested chuck eye steaks against the grain.
- Spoon the mushroom gravy over the steak slices.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
