Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds steak of choice - I use the cheapest steak I can find usually top round or sirloin we will tenderize it
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce - regular can also be used I love a mushroom infused soy sauce too
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons garlic - chopped
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms - cremini or white. optional
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- French fried onions - for on top ~3 tablespoons per steak - optional
- 1 teaspoon crumbled bleu cheese - optional
Instructions
- Season steak with salt and pepper on each side.
- using a mallet, meat tenderizer or rolling pin, pound out the steaks so they are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place steak into a zip lock bag or container and add dark soy sauce and mix steak around so it's nicely coated by the sauce.
- Let it marinade 30 minutes on a counter.
- In a large cast iron pan, add butter and olive oil and heat on high heat, when the butter is melted and hot.
- Add steaks and sear quickly on each side then remove and set aside.
- Add garlic and mushrooms to the hot pan, reduce to medium heat and stir until the garlic and mushrooms start to soften, should only take 1-2 minutes.
- Add chicken stock, salt and Dijon mustard and any liquid on the steak plate.
- Simmer for a minute or so until a thin sauce forms.
- Add the steak back to the pan and coat nicely on each side with the sauce.
- Remove steak from pan, pour the pan sauce over the top and let it sit for 3-4 minutes to rest, then serve, spooning on more sauce as desired.
- Top with French fried onions and bleu cheese if desired.
- Enjoy!
