Steak with Mushrooms will never go out of style! The addition of cooking 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, but feel free to use whatever side dish you like. A simple green salad with some peppery arugula would also be nice here. 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, grilled steak is always my go-to meal.
If you think about it - steak is the ultimate fast food. It cooks in a flash, isn't especially fussy, and is universally loved.
Of course, when you are cooking for a crowd, the cost of steak can be a concern.
And that is where a crazy-good steak marinade comes in.
My secret weapon for delicious Steak with Mushrooms is Holland House Cooking Wine. It has become my go-to countertop ingredient when I want to add a boost of flavor without a lot of fuss.
I’ve used Red Cooking Wine for the steak, and White Cooking Wine for the mushrooms. One bite and you will agree that Holland House Cooking Wines are such an easy way to fill life with flavor!
Red Cooking White has a classic, deep red wine aroma and a smooth, medium-bodied wine flavor that perfectly compliments a steak. It is the best way I’ve found to marinate less-tender cuts of beef - it is perfect for your next summer grill out. I also love to use it in gravy, red sauces, and with lamb.
The White Cooking Wine plays nicely with the earthy mushrooms, lending a crisp white-wine aroma and a dry but distinct flavor that is perfect with lighter dishes. I also adore it with fish and seafood.
I love that I can get Holland House Cooking wines in five different varieties, all of which combine wine with the perfect blend of seasonings and then age it to perfection. In addition to White and Red, you can also try White with Lemon, Marsala, and Sherry. Rest assured, they deliver a flavor intensity that can stand the heat from any kitchen.
How to Make Grilled Steak with Mushrooms and Onions:
Step 1: Make the marinade.
Combine Holland House Red Cooking Wine, fresh thyme, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper in a small saucepan over high heat.
Step 2: Simmer
Bring the mixture to a simmer (the point just before a boil), and then reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the wine has reduced by more than half.
Step 3: Cool
Allow the mixture to cool completely. Remove the fresh thyme.
Step 4: Marinate
Put the steak in a shallow dish or large zip-top bag. Marinate for four hours, or overnight.
Step 5: Cook Steak
Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Brush with oil. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook to desired doneness. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6: Cook Onion
Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat and spray VERY WELL with oil. (You can also drizzle oil in the pan.). Cook the onions for 4 minutes, until they start to soften.
Step 7: Add Mushrooms
Add the mushrooms to the pan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes.
Step 8: Add Holland House White Cooking Wine
Add the cooking wine, and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 9: Make the Cauliflower Rice
Add oil to the empty skillet and add cauliflower rice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until tender, about 7 minutes.
Tips & Tricks for Making Grilled Steak with Mushrooms
- If you have the time, salt the steaks for up to two days before marinating 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.
