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.

Your Summer Just Got Tastier with this Grilled Steak with Mushrooms!

When I want to serve a meal that will impress without a lot of fuss, cooking steak with mushrooms is always my go-to meal.

If you think about it - steak is the ultimate fast food. It cooks in a flash, isn't incredibly fussy, and is universally loved.

This is the best steak and mushroom recipe - it deserves to become a habit!

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.

We grill a lot of steak at our house since it is a family favorite. I love being able to marinate the steak ahead of time, as well as prepare the mushrooms. This leaves the only thing left to do to cook the steak. Perfect for a weekend evening with family and friends.

    I'm not a much of a meat eater, and even this looks amazing to me! My husband and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary next week and not wanting to do anything too outrageous, so I think I may make him this because he is a meat eater and I believe he will love it.
