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:

1. Remove the steaks from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes — this ensures even cooking.
2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

 2. Cook the Steak:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
2. 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).
3. Add the butter to the pan during the last minute of cooking and baste the steaks with the melted butter for extra flavor.
4. 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:

1. In the same skillet (do not clean it), melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until they start to brown and release their moisture.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to deglaze the pan and lift up any flavorful bits.
5. Add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring until the sauce thickens (about 2–3 minutes).
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Combine and Serve:

1. Place the rested steaks back in the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic mushroom sauce over the top.
2. Let the steaks sit in the sauce for 1–2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. 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.
