Steak in Red Wine Gravy with Cream Cheese Mash Potatoes

I  found this recipe on Pinterest and changed it up a bit. The original recipe was just a red wine sauce and turned it into a gravy.

Steak in Red Wine Gravy with Cream Cheese Mash Potatoes

 

 Steak in Red Wine Gravy

·         1½ pounds sirloin steak tips, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
·         Salt and pepper
·         1 tablespoon Olive oil
·         3 tablespoons unsalted butter
·         2-3 shallot, minced
·         1 cup red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir)
·         1 Tablespoon Honey
·         1 cup beef broth
·         1-2 Tablespoons of flour
·         1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

1. Season Steak with salt and pepper. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add steak tips and cook until well browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil.

2. Add 1 tablespoon butter to now-empty skillet and melt over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add honey and wine and simmer until nearly evaporated, about 3-4 minutes. Mix flour with some of the broth in a separate cup. Add broth, any accumulated steak juice from plate and flour mixture to pan simmer until liquid is thickened, about 2 minutes. Add steak to sauce and simmer another minute.

3. Turn off heat, whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
