Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding sautéed onions and garlic to the gravy mixture. If you want to lighten the dish, you can substitute the cheese broccoli soup with a homemade cheese sauce made from low-fat cheese and broccoli. Using a thicker cut of steak will provide more texture, and you can also use beef broth instead of milk for a deeper taste.
