Steak and Portobello Mushrooms is a hearty and flavorful dish that brings together the rich, savory taste of a perfectly seared steak with the earthy, umami-packed goodness of portobello mushrooms. The mushrooms soak up the steak’s juices and a touch of garlic and herbs, creating a beautifully balanced meal that’s simple yet elegant. Perfect for a special dinner or a cozy weeknight meal, this dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. The combination of tender steak and meaty mushrooms offers a satisfying and wholesome meal.
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional, for mushrooms)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a separate bowl, coat the portobello mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary or thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet and sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add 1 tablespoon of butter during the last minute of cooking, basting the steak with the melted butter. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steaks rest, add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and cook the portobello mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are tender and browned. Add balsamic vinegar for extra flavor if desired, and finish with the remaining butter.
- Slice the steaks and serve alongside the portobello mushrooms, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
