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?
- Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes
- zucchini, corn on the cob, green beans
- Mashed Potatoes
- Baked Potatoes
- Side Salad
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.
