Instructions

1. Prep Steak and Onion

   Trim excess fat from the ribeye, cut into bite‑size pieces, and dice half of a small yellow onion.

   Time: PT10M

2. Sauté Onion

   Heat the skillet over medium heat, add rendered steak fat or a splash of oil, then add the diced onion with a pinch of salt. Cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

3. Brown the Steak

   Add the steak pieces to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, ½ tsp dried rosemary, ½ tsp onion powder, and ½ tsp dried thyme. Sauté until the meat is browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.

   Time: PT8M

4. Add Garlic

   Reduce the heat to low and stir in one minced garlic clove. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

   Time: PT1M

5. Make the Roux

   Sprinkle 8 tablespoons all‑purpose flour over the steak mixture, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour forms a light crust on the bottom of the pan, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

6. Add Beef Broth

   Gradually pour in 4 cups beef broth while stirring. Bring to a simmer and let the mixture thicken into a gravy, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

7. Add Vegetables

   Stir in 1½ cups frozen peas and carrots. Cook for 2 minutes until heated through.

   Time: PT2M

8. Prepare Biscuit Dough

   In a mixing bowl combine 2¼ cups self‑rising flour and ¼ tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Mix in 2½ oz shredded cheddar and 2 tbsp chopped chives. Add 1 cup cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together; add a little more buttermilk if the dough is too dry.

   Time: PT10M

9. Drop Biscuits Over Gravy

   Using a large ice‑cream scoop, drop the biscuit dough onto the steak and gravy in the skillet, spacing them evenly. You should get about 10 biscuits.

   Time: PT5M

10. Bake

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the skillet (or transfer to a baking sheet) in the oven and bake for 23–25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

    Temperature: 425°F
