Steak and Mushrooms

Steak and Mushrooms will never go out of style! The addition of wine gives this dish a luxurious feel, making it perfect for entertaining. (But don't worry, this recipe is easy enough to maintain a casual summer vibe.) It works well with a side of cauliflower rice or a simple green salad with some peppery arugula. Leftovers - if you have any - are fabulous in a wrap or bowl with blue cheese and sauteed onions.

Ingredients for Making Steak with Mushrooms

• Red Wine:  When making red wine marinated steak, use a wine that you would drink. (But no need to go for the expensive stuff.)
• Thyme: If you can't find thyme, rosemary is a good option.
• Garlic:  Freshly minced garlic is best here.
• Red Pepper Flakes:  For a touch more heat, you can use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
• Salt and Pepper: I recommend a teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
• Steak:  Use your favorite cut!
• Onion:  White or yellow onion work best.
• Mushrooms: You can use any type of mushroom you like. (I like baby Bellas when I can find them.) For entertaining, I will often buy a gourmet blend. Buying sliced mushrooms is a great way to save time.
• White Wine:  This adds a nice pop of flavor to the mushrooms, but feel free to omit. Beef broth would be a good alternative.

Tips & Tricks for Making Grilled Steak with Mushrooms

• If you have the time, salt the steaks for up to two days before marinating them on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. The salt will work its way into the meat, seasoning and breaking down muscle proteins. Not only will the steak be more, but it will also be juicier.
• Pull the steak out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• Don't skip resting the steak before cutting! If you cut the steak while it is still too warm, it will lose a lot of juice.
• If you prefer a mushroom sauce, add 1 cup of good quality beef broth to the mushrooms and thicken it with ¼ - ½ teaspoons of xanthan gum.
• For even more flavor, top your steak with compound butter.
