Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz / 225g each)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Garlic Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (60ml) beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or parsley (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Prepare the Steak:
- Remove the steaks from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes — this ensures even cooking.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2. Cook the Steak:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add the steaks and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or adjust based on your preferred doneness).
- Add the butter to the pan during the last minute of cooking and baste the steaks with the melted butter for extra flavor.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes — this helps retain the juices.
3. Make the Garlic Mushroom Sauce:
- In the same skillet (do not clean it), melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until they start to brown and release their moisture.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to deglaze the pan and lift up any flavorful bits.
- Add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring until the sauce thickens (about 2–3 minutes).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine and Serve:
- Place the rested steaks back in the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic mushroom sauce over the top.
- Let the steaks sit in the sauce for 1–2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish with chopped fresh thyme or parsley.
5. Serve Immediately:
- Plate the steak with extra mushroom sauce on the side.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
