Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin steak
  • 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms
  • 1 cup beef gravy
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 lb beef sirloin steak against the grain into 1/2 inch thick strips. Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the 1 lb baby potatoes (halved if large) and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the 1 cup beef gravy and bring to a simmer. Return the beef to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

  5. 5

    Season with extra salt and pepper to taste before serving.
