Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
– 4 steaks (ribeye or filet mignon works best) – 1 tablespoon olive oil – 1 tablespoon butter – 1 onion, finely chopped – 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced – 2 cloves garlic, minced – 1 cup beef broth – 1/2 cup heavy cream – Salt and pepper to taste
Steps by Step Instructions
1. Start by seasoning the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
3. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered with foil, to allow the juices to redistribute.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and starts to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, around 8-10 minutes.
6. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
7. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
9. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
10. Place the rested steaks back into the skillet with the mushroom sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
11. Serve the steaks with a generous spoonful of the mushroom sauce on top. Pair it with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
Keto and Low Carb Variations
If you’re following a keto or low carb diet, you can easily adapt this recipe to fit your dietary needs. Here are a few variations:
– Instead of using regular flour to thicken the sauce, you can use almond flour or coconut flour.
– Replace the heavy cream with coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
– Serve the steak and mushroom sauce with cauliflower mash instead of traditional mashed potatoes.
Tips
– Make sure to let the steaks rest after cooking to ensure tender and juicy meat.
– For a more intense mushroom flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the sauce while it simmers.
– Experiment with different types of mushrooms to find your favorite combination. Cremini, shiitake, or portobello mushrooms all work well in this recipe.
– Don’t overcrowd the skillet when cooking the mushrooms. Cook them in batches if necessary to ensure they brown properly.
