🥩 Seared Steak with Creamy Mushroom Sauce (Michelin-Style Dinner)

🛒 Ingredients:

1 steak (ribeye or filet mignon)

Sea salt & black pepper

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves (crushed)

Fresh thyme

For the sauce:

1 cup mushrooms (sliced)

1 tbsp butter

1 small onion (finely chopped)

½ cup heavy cream

¼ cup beef broth

¼ cup parmesan cheese

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

Prepare the steak: Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Sear the steak: Heat a pan until very hot. Add olive oil, then place the steak in the pan.

Cook for 2–4 minutes per side (depending on your preferred doneness).

Baste for flavor: Add butter, garlic, and thyme. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak continuously.

Rest the steak: Remove from heat and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to keep it juicy.

Make the mushroom sauce: In the same pan:

Cook mushrooms until golden

Add onion and sauté until soft

Pour in beef broth and cream

Let it simmer until thickened

Stir in parmesan cheese

Plating (restaurant style): Slice the steak, arrange neatly on a plate, and spoon the creamy mushroom sauce beside or over it. Garnish with fresh thyme.

⭐ Chef’s Tips:
