Gravy Ingredients
- 🧈 2 tablespoons butter

- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

STEPS

Combine 1 teaspoon salt per pound of beef, black pepper, and granulated garlic in a small bowl. Apply the mixture to both sides of the beef and press the edges onto any leftover seasoning.

Place the seasoned beef on a wire rack over a pan. Refrigerate uncovered for 24 hours, turning it over once at 12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the beef on both sides for about 3 minutes each, sear the edges if desired.

Add mushrooms and onions to the pan. Season with salt and drizzle melted butter over both the vegetables and beef.

Roast in the oven at 475°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 130-135°F for medium). Check temperature after 15 minutes.

Remove beef from oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Prepare the gravy: Remove vegetables from the pan and melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in vinegar and beef broth and bring to a boil.

Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Add thyme and reduce until thickened.

Slice rested beef thinly at a 45-degree angle. Serve with mushrooms and hot gravy.

💡 Use a meat thermometer for precision to avoid overcooking the beef.Letting the beef rest after cooking ensures juices redistribute for tender, juicy slices.Reduce gravy further for a thicker, more concentrated flavor.
