Pan-Grilled Steak with Mushroom Lager Sauce
RECIPE:
Serves 2
2 of your favorite steaks
s/p to taste
2 tablespoon oil, separated
8 oz. sliced mushrooms
3 tablespoon butter, separated
1 white onion, sliced fine
2 teaspoons garlic, minced fine
1 teaspoon dry thyme
¾ cup lager beer
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes. In the meantime, season the steaks with s/p to taste.
Add 1 T oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add the steaks and sear for 3 minutes / side. Lower heat to medium low
and cover. Turn steaks every minute until desired doneness. Remove steaks to a clean plate and cover with the lid
to keep warm. Turn the pan up to medium high heat and add 1 T oil and the mushrooms. Sauté mushrooms until
the sizzle stops; about 3 minutes. Add 1 T butter and the onions and sauté until caramelized; about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and thyme and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the beer and scrape up the fond on the bottom of the pan.
Return and juices from the resting steaks to the pan. Reduce the liquid by 75% and finish with 2 T butter.
