How To Prepare Beef Steak with Mushroom Sauce

Welcome to our culinary adventure! Picture this: a perfectly seared beef steak, juicy and succulent, crowned with a velvety mushroom sauce. It’s a symphony of flavors that will make your taste buds sing. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients

• 2 beef sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
• Salt and black pepper, to season
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms (or any mushrooms you prefer)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Season and Sear the Steaks:
   • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
   • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Adjust the time based on your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
2. Make the Mushroom Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden and fragrant.
   • Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for a minute.
   • Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce thicken slightly. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
3. Plate and Serve:
   • Place the rested steaks on serving plates.
   • Spoon the mushroom sauce generously over the steaks.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Cook’s Note

• Alternative Mushrooms: If cremini mushrooms are hard to find, use white button mushrooms—they work beautifully too.
• Creamy Variation: Swap heavy cream for half-and-half if you prefer a lighter sauce.
