Perfectly seared steaks topped with sauteed mushrooms and a roasted garlic gorgonzola compound butter.
I have been testing out some new recipes for Valentine’s Day and a tasty teak dinner for two is always a nice way to go! This recipe uses the classic combo of a perfectly pan seared steaks with sauteed mushrooms and onions and if that were not enough, it’s all topped off with a homemade roasted garlic gorgonzola butter! Steak, mushrooms, butter and blue cheese is a match made in heaven! With this dish I am letting the flavours of the ingredients shine so the mushrooms are really simple with onions, garlic, thyme and a bit of parsley which all complement the steak well! This pan seared steaks with sauteed mushrooms and roasted garlic gorgonzola butter is a fantabulous option for an intimate Valentine’s Day dinner, or any other special occasion!
ingredients
For the sauteed mushrooms:
1/2 tablespoon oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, sliced or diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon thyme, chopped
1/2 cup beef broth or chicken broth or wine
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon parsley chopped (optional)
For the pan seared steaks:
1 tablespoon oil
2 (6 ounce) steaks (strip loin, rib eye, prime rib, etc)
salt and pepper or steak seasoning to taste
2 tablespoons roasted garlic gorgonzola butter
directions
For the sauteed mushrooms:
Heat the oil and melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat, add the mushrooms and onions and cook until the mushrooms have released their moisture, it has cooked off and the mushrooms start to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes.
Add the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
Add the broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon as the broth simmers.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle in the parsley and set aside.
For the pan seared steaks:
Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat, add the steaks, seasoned to taste, and sear until cooked to the desired level of doneness, about 2-4 minutes per side for medium.
Top with the sauteed mushrooms and melting roasted garlic gorgonzola butter!
