Pan-Seared Steak with Garlic Mushroom Sauce

Print Recipe

A succulent pan-seared steak topped with a creamy garlic mushroom sauce. Rich, flavorful, and perfect for an indulgent dinner, this dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz (225g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or parsley (plus more for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  3. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then add mushrooms. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and softened.
  4. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add heavy cream and stir. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes more.
  6. Return steaks to the pan and spoon the sauce over them. Let sit for 1–2 minutes to warm through.
  7. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Notes

  • Let steaks come to room temperature before cooking for even searing.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
  • Swap heavy cream for crème fraîche or sour cream for a tangier twist.
  • Great with red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
