Buttery Steak & Mushroom Bliss Plate 🍽️✨
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks
- Salt & black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
- 1 tbsp butter (for sauce)
- 2 cups sliced cremini or baby bella mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Chopped parsley for garnish
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter (for mashed potatoes)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the mashed potatoes. In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover them with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of milk, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes until they reach a creamy consistency. Set aside to keep warm.
2. Now, let's cook the steaks. Begin by patting the steaks dry with a paper towel. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper for flavor. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the steaks in the skillet. Sear the steaks for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare finish. During the last minute of cooking, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and use it to baste the steaks for added richness. After searing, remove the steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
3. While the steaks rest, it's time to prepare the creamy mushroom sauce. In the same skillet (which is now infused with the delicious steak juices), reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5 to 6 minutes until they turn golden brown and tender. Next, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring to combine.
4. Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. After simmering, stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, simmering until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
5. It's time to plate your delicious meal! Take a serving plate and place one of the seared steaks in the center. Generously spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the steak. Serve alongside a generous scoop of the fluffy mashed potatoes. Finish it off with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Enjoy your Buttery Steak & Mushroom Bliss Plate, the ultimate comfort food experience! 🍴🍄
