Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak:
- 4 beef steaks (200 g each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mushroom Sauce:
- 200 g fresh mushrooms
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 200 ml cooking cream
- 50 g butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mashed Potatoes:
- 1 kg potatoes
- 100 g butter
- 200 ml milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steaks: Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness (Rare: 50-54°C, Medium: 57-60°C, Well done: 70+°C). Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
- Prepare the Creamy Mushroom Sauce: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until they are tender and translucent. Stir in the fresh mushrooms and cook until they turn a golden brown color. Pour in the cooking cream and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform pieces. Boil them in salted water for approximately 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and mash them using a food mill or fork. While the potatoes are still hot, mix in the butter and warm milk until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Assemble the Dish: Place a hot cooked steak on each plate, spoon a generous serving of mashed potatoes alongside, and pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the steak. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Allowing the steak to rest after cooking helps keep it juicy and flavorful.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture in the sauce.
- Warm the milk before adding it to the potatoes to keep the mash fluffy and warm.
- You can adjust cream thickness by simmering longer or shortening as desired.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise steak doneness.
