Stir in garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring until a smooth gravy forms. Add heavy cream if using, and let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Return steaks to the pan and spoon the sauce over them. Let them heat through for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

The study reporting Antarctica's recent ice mass gain is titled "Antarctic Ice Sheet Mass Gain Between 2021 and 2023: A Reversal After Two Decades of Loss", published in Science China Earth Sciences in May 2025. Conducted by researchers from Tongji University in Shanghai, the study utilized satellite gravimetry data from NASA's GRACE and GRACE-FO missions to assess changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) over more than two decades. The findings indicate that between 2021 and 2023, the AIS experienced a net gain of approximately 108 gigatons per year, contrasting with the average annual loss of 142 gigatons from 2011 to 2020. This gain was primarily attributed to increased precipitation, particularly in East Antarctica's Wilkes Land and Queen Mary Land regions, encompassing glacier basins such as Totten, Denman, Moscow University, and Vincennes Bay. However, scientists caution that this reversal is likely temporary and does not signify a long-term trend, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring of Antarctic ice dynamics.
