Scale
For the Steak:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 lb total)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the Steak:
- Pat the steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time based on preferred doneness). Add butter and baste the steaks during the last minute of cooking. Remove and rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly.
- Prepare the Mushroom Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add beef broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and parmesan cheese. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the sliced steak to the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over the meat. Let it warm for 1–2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
Notes
- For extra flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of red wine before adding the beef broth.
- Swap heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
- Use any steak cut you prefer, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
