- Once the onions are soft and golden add the garlic and mushrooms. Stir and cook for just a minute. Add the tablespoon of flour and cook into the onions for just a few seconds. Slowly mix in your beef stock. You want to make sure the flour doesn't clump. It helps if your stock is at least room temp but it is even better if it's hot. Stir in the fresh thyme. Taste to see if you need to add any salt or pepper.

The longer you let the steaks simmer in the gravy the more tender they'll become.
- I served mine over rice and a side of cooked greens (kale in this case,) and garnished with chopped chives.
