Delicious tender beef in mushroom and  onion gravy with mashed potatoes 😋

This turned out so damn delicious, I have to note what I did here… for my family.  I used the ninja foodi to sear and pressure cook beef first. Then, in cast iron skillet, I made mushroom and onion gravy and added beef to it. Served with mashed potatoes (that I made ahead) and a vegetable. Many vegetables would go well as a side with this. Some good bread and good butter would be great with this! I didn’t have room, but if you have big eaters 😜

Ingredients:
2-3 lb chuck roast/beef
Seasonings (favorite all purpose, or salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder)
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp healthy fat, to saute onions and mushrooms
1/2 -1 medium onion, diced
8 oz (at least) mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup flour
3-4 tbsp butter
1 tsp Knorr’s beef bouillon
1 tsp Better than Bouillon vegetable base
Splash of worchestershire sauce
Optional – garnish like parsley or green onion, chopped

Directions:
Season beef well and sear in ninja foodi. Add 2 cups of beef broth and switch to pressure cooker, 390° for 50 minutes.
When done, pour liquid/broth from PC pot into a large measuring cup or container, stir Knorr’s beef bouillon and vegetable base into broth, and set both beef and broth aside.
In skillet (I like cast iron), on medium heat, sauté onions and mushrooms with a tbsp or 2 of fat (healthy oil, butter, bacon fat, tallow, or I used fat skimmed off top of pressure cooker liquid/broth). Add butter to the skillet, let melt mostly, then sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir, allowing flour to cook a minute or so. Stir in the broth, let cook a couple of minutes and thicken. If it’s too thick, add a little water. If too thin, make a slurry by mixing a couple of tbsp each of corn starch and cold water in a cup or jar, stir into gravy. Add a splash of worchestershire sauce. Check for seasoning. Break up beef with tongs, add to gravy, and allow to warm through.
Delicious! Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles, like wide egg noodles or pappardella. Garnish with parsley or green onion. Any vegetable would be good as a side. On this occasion, I just wanted to finish leftover refried beans the first day. Second day? Yes, leftovers, it made a lot… for us; made more mashed potatoes and a little more gravy (easy, sautéed more onion in beef tallow, then flour and beef broth again like above directions) and added leftover beef mushroom gravy to new gravy . Served with broccoli 🥦 😋

I got organic mushrooms in my farm box delivery from local farms. And chuck roast from Good Ranchers delivery. My dairy and orange juice comes from Danzeisen Dairy, our local dairy farm delivery. Except butter 🧈  😉 I order that online. 🫠 local specialty stores have British butter, isigny ste mere butter, and other good brands. The Rodolphe Le Meunier butter I order from Murray’s Cheese Shop. They’re super nice and reliable 👌 ❤️ 😊

Another time, I served it on rice 🍚 😋

With broccoli 🥦 on side this time 😉

Transfer beef to skillet, break apart with tongs, and carefully stir into gravy.

Good so many different ways! With a good bread and good butter! Or on bread as an open face beef sandwich; the old-school diner type 😋 yummo 😍 This stuff is damn delicious.
