Why this is Steak with Mushroom Sauce is so good!

• An easy steak recipe. This creamy mushroom steak is a simple seared steak with a creamy mushroom sauce. It’s all made in a cast-iron skillet, so it’s a simple recipe with easy cleanup. 
• Restaurant quality dish at home! I first made this recipe for our date night at home on Valentine’s day. It couldn’t be any more perfect and since then, this has been a must recipe to have at our home.
• A delicious creamy mushroom sauce. Even my older son grew very fond of this recipe ever since he tried it. It’s like the only time he actually eats mushrooms and he loves the rich flavor of the creamy sauce.

Ingredients you’ll need

• Steak – Angus N.Y. Strip is the best cut, but you can use any steak for this recipe. 
• Butter – Use salted butter. If you use unsalted, add more butter to the steaks. 
• Garlic – I used both fresh garlic and garlic powder. 
• Heavy Whipping Cream – If you don’t have heavy whipping cream, you can use half and half or even full-fat coconut milk. 
• Salt and Pepper – I love coarse sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. It has the most flavor. 
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil – You can also use avocado oil or vegetable oil instead. 
• Mushrooms – I used baby bella mushrooms. Any type of mushrooms works perfectly. Try shitake mushrooms for a sweeter flavor. 
• Rosemary – This is optional, but the fresh rosemary stems add flavor to the while sauteing the steak. 

How to make this Steak with Mushroom Sauce

• Marinate steak with fresh ground black pepper and salt.
• Heat cast iron skillet on high heat and then add the butter, herbs and steak to cook until the steaks are cooked half through.
• Set aside and cover with aluminum foil.
• In the same pan, add olive oil and sauté the fresh garlic. Then add in the mushrooms and continue sautéing them together until the mushrooms are tender.
• Add in the heavy whipping cream, ground black pepper, garlic powder, salt and cook together until the sauce is almost thickened up.
• Add in the steaks and cook everything together on medium low heat until the steaks are well done.
• Remove from heat and top with fresh herbs if you prefer to use any. Serve with steak fries or baked potato wedges.

Recipe tips and notes

• The mushrooms will release a lot of liquid as they cook. If you wait patiently, that liquid will evaporate off and when that happens, the mushrooms will get that great caramelized and browned exterior.
•  Sprinkle fresh parsley and rosemary to garnish your mushroom sauce, but other great options are dill, chives or thyme leaves.
• I used baby bella mushrooms but you can also use  such as cremini, portobello, shiitake or oyster.
• Once pulled off the heat you will need to rest the meat to insure that it is juicy and delicious when you slice it.
