Ingredients:
For the Steak:
4 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter
For the Mushroom Gravy:
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup beef broth
½ cup heavy cream
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (for slurry)
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
2 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup milk
¼ cup heavy cream
4 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Make the Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15–20 minutes).
Drain and mash with milk, heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper until velvety smooth. Keep warm.
2. Cook the Juicy Steak:
Pat steaks dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side (or to desired doneness). Remove and let rest.
3. Prepare the Rich Mushroom Gravy:
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced mushrooms until golden-brown.
Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Pour in beef broth and heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the gravy thickens. Season to taste.
4. Plate and Serve:
Serve steaks with a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes.
Drizzle the warm mushroom gravy over both steak and potatoes.
