Instructions

Start by patting the steaks dry with paper towels. This helps them sear beautifully instead of steaming in the pan.

Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Don’t be shy here. A good steak loves a proper seasoning.

Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steaks. Let them sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on how you like them cooked.

When they’re done, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest. This gives the juices time to settle back into the meat.

In the same skillet, add the butter. Once it melts, toss in the sliced mushrooms. Cook them for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring now and then, until they turn golden and tender.

Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme. Stir for about 1 minute, just until the garlic smells warm and fragrant.

Pour in the beef broth. As it bubbles, scrape up all those browned bits from the bottom of the pan. That’s where so much flavor is hiding.

Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes, until it thickens into a rich, creamy coating.

Return the steaks to the skillet. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the top and let everything warm together for a minute or two.

Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve while it’s hot and creamy.

Presentation

For a beautiful plate, spoon a generous layer of the creamy mushroom sauce over each steak and let a little spill onto the side. A sprinkle of chopped parsley adds freshness and a nice pop of color.

This steak is lovely with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, buttered noodles, or crusty bread for soaking up the sauce. For a cozy dinner feel, serve it in shallow bowls or on warm plates so the sauce stays velvety until the last bite.
