Sometimes you want a quick, but satisfying dinner. Sometimes you want
a dinner that tastes like someone else made it. Sometimes you want a quick, satisfying, dinner like you would have gotten in a restaurant, but you'd rather keep the $100 in your pocket. Take a simple steak, fry it on the stove top and add a rich mushroom sauce. You'll be surprised by how quick and delicious this simple meal can be.
Shall we make it together?
Steak with Mushroom Sauce
Serves 4
Heat two tablespooons of butter in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. I used a cast ion skillet. Salt and pepper your steaks and put them in the hot pan. Cook the steaks to your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan, to a separate dish and cover to keep warm.
Add the rest of the butter to the same pan you cooked the steak in. No need to dirty additional pans. The drippings from the steak will add flavor and depth to your sauce. When the butter is melted and sizzling add the mushrooms, garlic and scallions. Stir to distribute and then don't touch them for a minute or two. You want your mushrooms to brown. This will take 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir the mushrooms, add the red wine and cook until the wine reduces and thickens. Add the parsley. Go ahead and pour a glass of wine for yourself as well.
Plate the steaks and top with the mushroom sauce. Serve with whatever side you like. I served my steaks with fresh green beans sauteed with garlic and red onions and my favorite tomato salad. Quick...easy...delicious.
