How to Make Steak with Mushroom Sauce
1. Prepare and Cook the Steaks
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter.
- Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare) or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and tender.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Make the Mushroom Sauce
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and thyme.
- Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- If using, stir in Parmesan cheese for extra richness.
4. Finish and Serve
- Return the rested steaks to the skillet and spoon the mushroom sauce over the top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately!
My Best Tips for Perfect Steak with Mushroom Sauce
- Let the steaks rest before slicing – This keeps them juicy and flavorful.
- Don’t overcrowd the mushrooms – Give them space in the pan to brown properly.
- Adjust the sauce thickness – If too thick, add a splash of broth; if too thin, simmer a bit longer.
- Want extra flavor? – Add a splash of red wine or brandy to the sauce for depth.
