GARLIC BUTTER STEAK AND MUSHROOM SKILLET

If you could smell this Garlic Butter Steak and Mushroom Skillet right now you might start overly salivating, but I am telling you it is super-cala-fragalisticly-delicious and the mushrooms practically melt in your mouth.  So I grilled my steaks on the BBQ and then added them to the skillet after roasting the mushrooms.  Now don’t start to get worried that this recipe is too complex because it is actually super easy.  Roasting the mushrooms only takes 25 minutes and you season them and then toss them in skillet and throw them in the oven.

In the time they are roasting you can BBQ or sear your steaks in pan and once the mushrooms are done you combined the two and top them off with the best garlic butter watch the butter melt and infuse into the steaks and there you will have the most delicious Garlic Butter Steak and Mushroom Skillet!

HOW DO YOU MAKE GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE?

You can make the Garlic Butter Sauce two ways:

• First, you can cook the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to turn a golden brown color, then remove from heat and mix in the garlic, thyme and lemon juice and pour on top of the steak and mushrooms, or
• Secondly, you can mash 1 cube of butter in a large mixing bowl and add in diced garlic and fresh minced thyme.  Mix until combined and then place on piece of  wax or parchment paper, roll into a log and twist the end to seal it up.
• Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until the butter is firm.
• Slice a piece of the butter off and place it right on top of your grilled or seared steak.  You can also spread on the mushrooms too.

HOW DO YOU PAN ROAST MUSHROOMS?

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Toss mushrooms in oil, garlic salt and pepper, place in an oven-proof skillet or sheet pan in a single layer and roast in the oven until golden, about 25 minutes, stirring the mushrooms half way through.
• Drain mushrooms from cooking oil/juices if any. Keep in the skillet or transfer to serving bowl and pour the garlic butter sauce right over the mushrooms toss to combined. Adjust seasoning with garlic salt and pepper to taste.
• You can follow this recipe for Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms.  They are quick and easy and will be amazing with the steak.

HOW DO YOU COOK A STEAK ON THE GRILL?

• Make sure your grill grates are clean.
• Turn on your grill and spray the grates with grill spray so your steaks won’t stick.  Let the tempurature get between 450 to 500 degrees.
• Season steaks with salt and pepper and put them on the grill and close the lid.  Grill each side for 3-4 minutes depending on the thickness of the steak and then flip the steak to the other side and grill for about 3-4 more minutes.  If you want a steak more well done, then keep it on the grill a little bit longer.
