Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) Ribeye steak (or your preferred cut)
• 1 cup Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and let them come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Rub both sides of the steaks with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season generously with black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning the garlic. Remove the mushroom mixture from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the steaks and let them sear for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving, until a golden crust forms.

Step 6

Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks a few times to baste.

Step 8

Return the mushroom mixture to the skillet and stir it gently around the steaks to warm through. Drizzle everything with lemon juice for a bright finish.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Serve the steaks topped with the sautéed mushrooms and any pan juices for a hearty, low-sodium meal.
