Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet (I use my 12") over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add steak bites. If your skillet is large enough you can fit it all but you may prefer to do two batches. It's totally up to you. Season with salt and pepper. Sear steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until you have some beautiful browning. Steak will cook very quickly so don't overdo it. Once finished, remove from pan and set aside on a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons of ghee (or another oil if preferred) and sliced mushrooms. Sauté, flipping occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic. Sauté until garlic is golden, about one minute.
Add beef stock, balsamic vinegar, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Now add steak bites back to the skillet. Cover and simmer for about 4 to 5 minutes or until gravy is heated through and steak is cooked how you like it. (If you prefer less cooked steak bites don't incorporate them back into the pan until gravy is almost completely done. That way your steak just has a minute to warm up.) Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
To thicken gravy, turn off heat. In a small container combine arrowroot flour and water. Shake. Pour the mixture into your gravy and stir so it’s thoroughly mixed in. You’ll notice the gravy begins to thicken immediately.
