🥘Ingredients

For the Steak

4 steaks (6 oz each)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Mushroom Sauce

2 tbsp butter
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp flour
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

👨‍🍳Directions

1Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3Add the steaks and cook until browned and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
5In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
6Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
7Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, then cook until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
8Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine.
9Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
10Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
11Add the Worcestershire sauce and thyme leaves, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
12Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
13Return the steaks to the skillet, spoon the mushroom sauce over the top of each steak.
14Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steaks simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes.
15This will allow the flavors to meld and the steaks to absorb some of the sauce.
16Remove the skillet from the heat and let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving.
17This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, ensuring a juicy and flavorful result.
18Serve the steaks hot, topped with the mushroom sauce.
