Garlic Butter Herb Steak and Mushrooms

You can obviously tell that we love steak at our house and my 10-year-old isn’t stopping the requests. I have got two older growing boys that are ready to eat me out of house and home. I can always count on a steak to be a hearty and satisfying meal that will please the entire family. I love to cook a good skillet steak because it is just so easy to make! Dinner is ready in no time at all and it tastes as good as coming out of the kitchen at a restaurant.

How do you cook a steak on a cast iron skillet?

  • Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Season the steak generously on each side with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron skillet with 1 Tablespoon of oil over high heat add the steaks to the pan and sear each side 3 minutes or until brown.
  • Reduce heat to medium low. Cook the steak to desired doneness. Rare = 125 degrees, Medium Rare = 135 degrees, Medium = 145 degrees, Medium Well = 150 degrees and Well Done = 160 degrees. Some say to flip only once while cooking, I like to flip mine a few times.
  • Right before serving the steak slather the butter compound on top and let it melt into the tender steak. This gives it a nice finishing touch and adds such great flavor.

What sides go well with steak?

What steaks should I buy for the skillet?

Thicker cut steaks work best for this method such as a ribeye or a New York Strip. Bone-in steaks are more difficult to cook and can lead to uneven cooking. Choose the best steak for your budget and use a thermometer for the best results.

Ingredients 

Garlic Butter Compound:

Instructions 

  • In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and butter, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Cook for about 3 minutes or until tender. Remove and set aside on a plate.
  • Turn the skillet to high heat. Add the steaks. Cook on each side for 3 minutes or until outside is browned. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook the steaks to the desired doneness. Mine took about 10 minutes flipping 3 times to get a medium well.
  • Right before the steaks are done, make the garlic butter compound. Mix the butter, garlic and fresh chopped herbs. Slather on top of steaks. Add the mushrooms back to the pan and heat through and let the butter melt into the steaks.

    Excellent. I cut back on the thyme left it out of the sauce because it is too strong for me and it would have suffocated the rest of the flavor
    . Definitely make it again

    I honestly made this recipe to use up some sliced mushrooms that I had lingering in the fridge. I do like steak with mushrooms, but I have never made it in that fashion before. This recipe is a great deviation from the norm. I prefer thick cut steaks of about 1″ or more. I used a meat thermometer to test internal temp, but I should have gone with the firmness test. My steak turned out medium-well as opposed to the medium-rare that I prefer. Still it was quite nice.

    Considering the mixture of herbs I wonder it Italian seasoning would be a suitable substitute. I almost used that, but I wanted to make the recipe as written. There was a bit too much oregano for my liking, but I definitely found this recipe to be one that I would make again.

  3. I’m a Fire Captain and the ‘preferred’ chef at our Firehouse, also my family likes dads cooking better than mom’s hehehe Mom is a great cook though… saving my butt… These recipes are awesome.. already made the Mongolian Beef & Garlic Butter Herb Steak & shrooms…. but not sure my garlic butter ‘compound’ was right… used some roasted garlic mince & butter melted together… What is your recipe for Garlic Butter Compound.. if possible can you send it to my email… Thanks for the great recipe site

    Hi Alyssa

    BLOODY BEAUTIFUL
    will be checking out some more of you recipes.

  8. the narrative says to turn the heat down to medium low, but the recipe says medium high. which is intended?

    1. It depends on your temperature of meat and how you like it cooked. Reduce heat to medium low.  Cook the steak to desired doneness.  Rare = 125 degrees, Medium Rare = 135 degrees, Medium = 145 degrees, Medium Well = 150 degrees and Well Done = 160 degrees.  Some say to flip only once while cooking, I like to flip mine a few times.
