Steak & Mushrooms


It was just one of those days when I craved red meat! Sometimes a good piece of steak will make everything all good.  However this piece of steak was a bit too lean for me, that did not matter because the mushrooms that I made with it was AMAZING!


Ingredients for Steak
  • Steak
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions
  1. Heat oil in a cast iron pan until pan is sizzling.
  2. Season the steak with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear the steak for 3 minutes on each side, or less if you like rare.  Longer if you want well done.
  4. Cover with foil and let it rest for at least ten minutes.


Ingredients for mushrooms
  • 12 button mushrooms, quatered
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

Directions
  1.  In the same cast iron pan, melt butter and oil together.
  2. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes.
  3. Add salt and pepper and saute for another minute.
  4. Add the wine and saute until it is almost dissolved.


The mushrooms were amazing, I will definitely make this again in the cast iron pan and serve it with chicken or pork chops.
