The Best mushrooms on steak recipe

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you all because it’s a game-changer for any steak lover. The combination of juicy steak and sautéed mushrooms is a match made in heaven.

I first discovered this recipe on a trip to Italy, where it’s a staple dish in many restaurants. The Italians know how to bring out the best flavors in their ingredients, and this recipe is no exception.

When I got home, I tweaked it to suit my family’s taste, and now it’s a regular in our household. My kids love helping me cook the mushrooms and steak, and it’s become a fun activity for us to do together.

This recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It’s also incredibly healthy, with the mushrooms providing a boost of antioxidants and the steak offering lean protein.

I like to serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or garlic bread for a well-rounded meal.

🥘Ingredients

For the Steak

4 beef steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice)
Salt
Black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Mushrooms

2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Salt
Black pepper

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you are using the oven method.
2Season both sides of the steaks liberally with salt and black pepper.
3Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke.
4Add the steaks and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
5For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 135°F (57°C).
6If you prefer your steak more well done, cook it a little longer, and use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
7Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
8In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
9Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
10Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
11Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
12Add the balsamic vinegar, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
13Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
14If using the oven method, place the steak in the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
15Slice the steaks against the grain into strips.
16Spoon the mushroom mixture over the steaks and serve immediately.
17Enjoy your steak with mushrooms.

📝Notes

Tips: You can add a splash of red wine to the mushroom mixture for extra flavor. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and add it to the mushrooms during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

This recipe is always a good idea for any occasion because it’s easy to make ahead of time and reheats beautifully.

You can store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze it for up to two months.

When reheating the steak, make sure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) before serving.
