Steak with balsamic mushrooms is a luxurious yet simple dish perfect for an elegant dinner. The tender beef fillets are complemented by the rich flavor of mushrooms and the aromatic touch of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and fresh thyme. This harmonious combination is sure to impress and satisfy your taste buds.
Instructions:
- Take the beef fillets out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. This will ensure they cook evenly.
- Lightly spray a large non-stick skillet or a grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
- Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the pan is hot, place the beef fillets in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision (medium-rare: 130°F/54°C).
- Remove the fillets from the pan and let them rest on a plate covered loosely with aluminum foil.
- In the same pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they begin to brown and soften, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pan. Stir frequently and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 1-2 minutes, until the mushrooms are well coated and the vinegar has slightly reduced.
- Place the rested beef fillets onto serving plates.
- Top each fillet with a generous portion of the balsamic mushrooms.
- Garnish with some additional fresh thyme if desired.
5. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious steak with balsamic mushrooms!
