A hearty and flavorful beef dish, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Season the beef with salt and pepper on all sides.
Let the seasoned beef rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot enough to sear the beef properly.
Sear the beef in the skillet until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the beef.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from burning.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat.
This step helps to thicken the sauce later.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine.
Scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits.
Return the beef to the skillet, spoon some sauce over it, and cover.
Covering the skillet helps retain moisture during baking.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 1.5 hours, basting the beef with the sauce every 30 minutes.
Basting ensures the beef stays moist and flavorful.
Remove the skillet from the oven, let the beef rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve with the sauce.
Resting the beef allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender.
