    This is exactly the way my Mom taught me to make pan gravy over 50 yrs ago. I went on and made this for my kids and taught them how to make the gravy also. Mom didn't roast onions and mushrooms in the pan, she roasted potatoes in the pan with the beef, then cooked the onions and mushrooms separately later. When we were especially good (?when was that?) Mom also made Yorkshire puddings to go with this. Then we for sure didn't have leftover gravy.

    Made three (3!) of these on Christmas Day...and I don't usually make beef. I dry-brined for 48 hours, seared off then had 2 in a roasting pan and 1 in a cast iron pan, deliberately cooked one a little more well since I had a variety of palates. All three came out very tender; I'd say they were cooked in the "medium" range. The gravy was a nice touch to the Chef John Au Gratin mashed potatoes...highly recommend preparing both together. I'm soaking in the compliments as we speak but the credit goes to Chef John. I'm no rookie in the kitchen but these vids gave me the chutzpah to prepare them on the "big stage". Merry Christmas!

So cooking to medium is not only fine, the people eating might actually in fact prefer I that way. It helps when the guests are drunk and high ;)
