Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 steak cuts of your choice (such as ribeye or striploin)
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet or grill pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
  2. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Push the mushrooms to the side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then mix everything together.
  4. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, coating the mushrooms evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Slice the rested steaks against the grain into thin strips. Return the steak strips to the skillet and toss them with the mushrooms, ensuring they are heated through.

Notes

Choose high-quality steak cuts for the best flavor and tenderness. Look for well-marbled steaks, as the fat enhances the taste and juiciness of the meat. Let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking. This helps to ensure even cooking and allows the meat to retain its juiciness. Serve the steak and mushrooms with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
