Steak with Mushrooms

Steak with 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, 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.

How to Make Grilled Steak with Mushrooms and Onions:

Step 1: Make the marinade.

Combine red 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 White 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.
