Classic Steak with Mushroom Pan Sauce by Camcancoook

Ingredients

• 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (8 oz each)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup beef broth or dry red wine
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sear steaks for 3-5 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms and internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
4. Remove steaks from the skillet, tent with foil, and let rest for at least 5-8 minutes.
5. In the same skillet, add butter and sliced mushrooms; sauté over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
6. Stir in minced garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Deglaze the pan with beef broth or wine, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.
8. Pour the mushroom pan sauce over the rested steaks and serve immediately.
