Ingredients:

  • 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut of steak)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz (225g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or red wine
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional for a creamier sauce)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the steaks: Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Allow them to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
  2. Cook the steaks: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat up. Once hot, place the steaks in the skillet and sear them for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for desired doneness). Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate while you prepare the sauce.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they become soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Deglaze the pan: Pour in the beef broth (or red wine), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid simmer and reduce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Finish the sauce: If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer, creamier sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the steak: Place the rested steaks on plates and spoon the mushroom sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and thyme for added flavor.
  8. Enjoy: Serve your steak with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad to complete the meal.
