Sauteed Steak With Port Mushroom Sauce
Preparation Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 8 oz - 1/2-3/4" strip loin beef steaks 250g, - 1-2cm
- 1 1/2 tsp peppercorns coarsely cracked, 7 mL
- 1 tbsp butter 15 mL
- 2 tbsp shallots minced 25 mL
- 1 pkg crimini mushrooms pre-sliced, fresh, 227 g
- 1 tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- 1/3 cup chicken broth or beef, 75 mL
- 3/4 cup Port wine 175 mL
- 3/4 cup whipping cream 175 mL, 35%
- 2 tbsp parsley minced, fresh, 25 mL, optional
Instructions
- Cut steaks in half; pat dry and rub both sides of steaks with peppercorns.
- In a medium non-stick skillet heat butter over medium-high heat; saute shallots and mushrooms for 4-5 minutes or until mushroom liquid has evaporated. Remove to a warm plate, cover with foil and set aside. Increase heat to high and add oil to same pan; cook steaks about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare (they should be slightly less done than desired as they will continue to cook when off the heat). Remove steaks to the warm plate with mushrooms. Cover to keep warm.
- Add broth and wine to same skillet; bring to boil and cook rapidly until reduced by about half. Add cream and cook rapidly until sauce has thickened slightly about 3-5 minutes or until desired consistency. Add parsley and return mushrooms to sauce and heat until hot. Serve over steaks.
