What Makes This Recipe So Good (And Why You’ll Make It Again)

  • The ribeye gets the respect it deserves. High heat, proper seasoning, and a quick rest means your ribeye steak stays juicy with a beautifully caramelised crust.
  • One pan, maximum flavour. All those browned bits from the steak become the base of the mushroom gravy for steak, which means nothing goes to waste and everything tastes better.
  • Balanced, not heavy. The gravy is rich and savoury without drowning the steak or turning the plate into a beige situation.
  • Beginner friendly but impressive. Whether you are learning how to cook ribeye or cooking for someone you want to impress, this method delivers every time.

What Goes Into Steaks With Mushroom Gravy

Top shot of ingredients: Pepper, salt, olive oil, garlic, Worcestershire Sauce, unsalted butter, plain flour, brown mushrooms, boneless ribeye steaks, onion, and beef broth. - 2

This steak dinner keeps things simple but delivers big, bold flavor. A quick sear on well-seasoned steaks and a from-scratch mushroom gravy are all you need to create something special.

  • Ribeye Steaks: Juicy, tender, and well-marbled, ribeye steaks are perfect for searing and pair beautifully with a rich mushroom gravy. You can also use sirloin, strip, rump, or porterhouse cuts.
  • Brown Mushrooms: These add an earthy, meaty flavor to the gravy and soak up all the buttery pan juices.
  • Beef Broth: Forms the savory base of the gravy: opt for a low-sodium broth so you can control the seasoning.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: Adds deep umami flavor and gives the gravy a subtle tang that complements the richness of the steak.

Note: Please see recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients with measurements.

Add-Ins And Smart Swaps (Make It Your Own)

These are optional, but very welcome if you want to switch things up.

  • Thyme Or Rosemary: Add a fresh herb sprig to the pan while the gravy simmers for a subtle, aromatic boost.
  • Shallots Instead Of Onion: Milder and slightly sweeter, perfect if you want a softer flavour profile.
  • Creamy Finish: Stir in a splash of cream or crème fraîche for a silkier gravy that leans more indulgent.
  • Different Steak Cut: Sirloin or scotch fillet work well if ribeye steak is not available, just adjust cooking time slightly.

Pro Tips From My Kitchen To Yours

  • Let your ribeye steak come to room temperature before cooking. This helps it cook evenly and prevents a cold centre.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing. If the pan is crowded, the steak steams instead of browning.
  • Taste the gravy before serving and adjust seasoning at the end. Mushrooms soak up salt as they cook.
  • Always rest the steak. Even a few minutes makes a noticeable difference in juiciness.

Ribeye steak is ideal for its marbling and tenderness, but you can also use sirloin, strip, rump, or porterhouse—whatever you prefer or have on hand.

Yes! While brown mushrooms add deep flavor, you can use cremini, white button, or a mix of wild mushrooms for more complexity in your mushroom gravy for steak.

You can test doneness by feel or with a thermometer. A rare steak feels soft and leaves an indent when pressed. Medium-rare has a soft, springy feel. Medium steaks spring back quickly, while well-done steaks feel firm. For best results, use a meat thermometer: Rare: 140°F (60°C) Medium Rare: 145°F (63°C) Medium: 160°F (70°C) Well Done: 170°F (76°C)
