Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 Steaks
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Teaspoon Herbes de Provence
  • 2 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
  • 7 ounces Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup White Wine
  • 1/2 cup Broth
  • 1/4 cup Cream
  • pinch Salt
  • pinch Black Pepper
  • few Pink Peppercorn (optional, or green pepper corn)
  • 1/4 cup Parsley (optional, roughly chopped)

Instruction

  • Rinse your steaks and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat up a pan with the butter and allow the butter to melt. Add the onion slices to the pan and keep on medium heat. 
  • Cook the onions for 1-2 minutes before you place the steaks into the pan over the onions. The onions prevent splashing of the butter. 
  • Sprinkle the Herb de Provence and place the finely chopped garlic over each steak. One side of the steak is enough.
  • Turn the steak once you can see it has turned it's color and looks cooked. Cook both sides and control your heat when pan searing the steaks. 
  • Decide how well you want your steak to be done and check with a meat thermometer the temperature. Refer to the temperature chart in the post.
  • Take the steak out of the pan and keep aside in a serving dish. Leave back the onions in the pan.
  • To prepare the sauce, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Add some more butter if too dry and cook the mushrooms soft.
  • Pour the white wine into the pan over the mushrooms. Stir cook a bit and then continue to add in the broth and cream.
  • Season with salt and black pepper if needed. Add pink or green peppercorn to the sauce if you like to add some more flavors. You can add fresh parsley too.
  • Mix everything properly and cook the mushroom sauce down until you think it's ready to be served over the steaks.
