Beef steaks with mushroom sauce is a classic dish that's both flavorful and satisfying. Here’s a straightforward recipe for you to try:
Ingredients
For the Steaks:
- 4 beef steaks (such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
For the Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Steaks:
- Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steaks and cook to your desired level of doneness (about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness).
- Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while you make the sauce.
-
Make the Mushroom Sauce:
- In the same skillet used for the steaks, reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the butter and let it melt. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they’re browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- If using flour, sprinkle it over the mushrooms and stir for a minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve:
- Spoon the mushroom sauce over the cooked steaks.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve with your choice of sides, like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad.
Enjoy your meal!
