How to Assemble Steak with Mushroom Cream Sauce

Cooking this Steak with Mushroom Cream Sauce is a straightforward process that comes together beautifully. Follow the steps below for a delicious meal that will impress your family and friends.

1. Start by patting the *steaks* dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a perfect sear. Season both sides generously with *kosher salt* and *fresh ground black pepper*. This simple seasoning brings out the natural flavors of the meat.
2. Next, heat a large heavy-duty pan over high heat until it’s smoking hot. Add the *1 tablespoon of oil*, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan. You want the oil to shimmer in the heat before adding the *steaks*.
3. Carefully add the *steaks* to the hot skillet. Sear for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. You should see a beautiful brown crust forming. Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced *mushrooms* and minced *garlic*. Add *2 tablespoons of butter* to the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the *mushrooms* are browned and begin to soften. The *garlic* will become fragrant during this time, infusing the dish with a wonderful aroma.
5. Stir in the *heavy cream* and *chicken broth*. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
6. Once the sauce has thickened, add the *Worcestershire sauce* and season with additional *salt* and *pepper* to taste. This step is crucial as it enhances the flavors. You want a well-balanced sauce that’s savory and rich.
7. Finally, return the *steaks* to the pan, allowing them to warm through in the sauce. Alternatively, you can serve the *steaks* with the sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with chopped herbs like parsley or thyme for a fresh touch.
8. Serve your Steak with Mushroom Cream Sauce immediately, alongside your favorite sides for a complete meal that’s sure to impress.
