Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, whole
- 3 rosemary sprigs
- ½ lb eye of round steaks
- salt and pepper to taste
Gravy
- ½ cup of beef broth
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon of cornstarch, or 1 tablespoon of flour
Instructions
- Place a tablespoon of butter in a hot skillet. Make sure the butter doesn’t burn
- Season the eye of round steaks with salt and pepper and brown them in a pan. Unnecessarily moving the steaks will make them tough and rubbery.
- Sear the edges of your steak until they are crisp and golden brown. You can also use the finger test to determine whether it is medium-rare.
- Toss an extra tablespoon of butter into the skillet.
- Add a couple sprigs of fresh rosemary and 2 crushed garlic cloves to the mix. The rosemary-garlic flavored butter will give your steak a lot of flavors. Set the steak aside after removing it from the skillet.
To make the gravy, follow these steps
- Combine the beef broth, onion powder, and paprika in the same skillet.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it comes to a boil, after adding a few teaspoons of balsamic vinegar.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and whisk in the cornstarch (or flour) until the gravy boils.
- Drizzle the sauce over your medium-rare eye of round steak and enjoy
