Ingredients

• 16 ounces Lean beef sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.5 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Shallots (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rub both sides of the steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and a small pinch of optional salt, if desired.

Step 3

Add the steak to the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium). Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest, tented with foil, for 5-10 minutes.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Sauté the shallots for 1-2 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and become tender.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the arrowroot powder and unsweetened almond milk to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the skillet and stir. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the steak sliced on a plate, topped with the mushroom sauce.
