Love the beefy, savory gravy! It is dairy free and quite light as well, not laden with butter or cream etc... not that I mind really, though.

I made this last night. I wasn't sure what to do with the olive oil so I combined it with the Worcestershire sauce. I think that helped to brown the meat a little more under the broiler. The sauce was excellent. I added mushrooms and lots of pepper. I would serve this to company in a heartbeat. I would just make the sauce a little ahead of time so you don't have to putz with that while entertaining guests.

When I first tasted the gravy I felt it was a bit bland. I jazzed it up with about 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and a little salt. I also added a couple of Tbsps. of cream for added richness. I cooked the steaks in a large skillet, then set them aside and prepared the gravy in the same skillet with the bits from the meat. One of the ingredients in this recipe is 2 Tbsps. of olive oil but the description calls for 2 Tbsps. of butter. I checked the Food Network version of the recipe to be sure which was right and there was another recipe prepared with this. The butter is what you'll need for the gravy here and the olive oil won't be necessary. It really was quite a good recipe overall, and the steak sauce was just the right amount, not overpowering to the gravy. Thanks for posting.
