Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 2 beef steaks (about 6–8 oz each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the steaks: Generously season the beef steaks with salt and pepper and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add finely chopped shallots and minced garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant and soft.
- Cook mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and develop a rich flavor.
- Prepare sauce: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, then pour in the heavy cream. Reduce heat and simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Cook steaks: Push the sauce to the side or remove it temporarily. In the same skillet, cook the seasoned steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting time to preference.
- Rest and rewarm: Remove the steaks and let them rest for a few minutes. Then return them to the skillet with the sauce to warm through gently.
- Serve: Plate the steaks, spoon the mushroom cream sauce generously over them, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Allow steaks to rest after cooking to retain juices and ensure tenderness.
- Use cremini mushrooms for a deeper flavor, but button mushrooms work well too.
- Adjust cream quantity depending on desired sauce richness and thickness.
- For a stronger mustard flavor, you can increase Dijon mustard to 1.5 tablespoons.
- Make sure to cook steaks in the same pan to absorb the flavorful sauce and brown bits.
