Why This Works
- Sirloin steak — the same cut Texas Roadhouse uses
- High heat sear — perfect crust with juicy center
- Brown gravy from pan drippings — no packet
- 25 minutes start to finish
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, 1.5-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1 medium onion sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
Brown gravy: 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour, 2 cups beef broth, 1 tbsp Worcestershire, ½ tsp thyme
How to Make It
Step 1 — Pat sirloin dry. Season generously. Sear in batches in hot butter/oil — 2 minutes per side. Remove.
Step 2 — Cook mushrooms and onions in the same pan 5–6 minutes. Add garlic 1 minute.
Step 3 — Sprinkle flour, stir 1 minute. Pour in broth gradually, add Worcestershire and thyme. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
Step 4 — Return steak bites. Stir 1 minute. Serve over mashed potatoes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What cut does Texas Roadhouse use?
Sirloin. It’s flavorful and stays tender with a quick sear. Don’t use stew beef — it needs braising.
Without mushrooms?
Skip them or double the onions. The brown gravy still works great.
Gluten-free gravy?
Use 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with cold water instead of flour.
How to keep steak bites tender?
Dry the beef, very high heat, don’t overcook. Medium-rare is ideal.
Different cut of beef?
Ribeye works (tender, pricier). Flank steak against the grain. Not chuck — needs slow cooking.
Meal prep?
Keep steak and gravy separate. Warm gravy first, add steak for 1 minute. Fridge up to 3 days.
Air fryer?
Air fry steak at 400°F for 6–8 minutes. Make gravy on stovetop separately.
What sides?
Mashed potatoes (classic), Texas toast, egg noodles, or rice.
