Gravy
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups beef broth

Instructions
- Heat Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat to prepare for browning the beef.

- Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until they become soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan with the onions and garlic, cooking until they are tender and have released their moisture.
