Heat vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Add steaks to the hot skillet and cook until browned and cooked to desired doneness; about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare steak. DO NOT crowd the skillet; cook two steaks at a time if skillet isn’t big enough.

Slowly add in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce; using a wooden spoon, scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring mixture to a boil.
9
Whisk in heavy cream and cook for 1 more minute.
10
Reduce heat to medium-low; return steaks to the skillet and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, or until steaks are heated through, and sauce has thickened.

Crockpot Steak & Gravy

Listen, This is one of those meals that feels like a warm hug, like someone’s grandma cooked it for 12 hours, but spoiler... It’s mostly just your crockpot doing the heavy lifting. We’re layering flavor here, y’all. A little garlic, a little Worcestershire, tomato paste for depth, rosemary for that something's fancy but not too fancy vibe, and butter. Because obviously. You throw everything in, give it some love (or just a stir and a pat), and let it go low and slow until the beef is melt in your mouth tender and the gravy basically demands a biscuit or some mashed potatoes underneath. Bonus points if you splash in a little red wine, I won’t tell.
