Ingredients

• 2 pieces (5-6 oz each) lean sirloin steak
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 as needed olive oil spray
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken or beef broth
• 0.5 cups low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cups, sliced white button mushrooms
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 small, minced shallot
• 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Pat the sirloin steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper, then let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Spray a large non-stick skillet with a light coating of olive oil spray. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 3

Sear the steaks in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or longer for your desired doneness). Remove from heat and transfer the steaks to a plate. Cover loosely with foil to rest.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and spray a little more olive oil if necessary. Add the minced garlic and shallot, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they release their liquid and begin to brown.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken or beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly, to thicken the sauce.

Step 8

Once the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat milk. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Return the steaks to the skillet, spoon some sauce over the top, and warm them for 1-2 minutes if needed.

Step 10

Serve the steaks on plates, topped with the mushroom sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if using.
