Ingredients

• 2 6-oz portions Sirloin steak (or another lean cut)
• 1 cup Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted beef stock (optional for deglazing)

Directions

Step 1

Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature (about 15–20 minutes). This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground black pepper, paprika, and rosemary. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and rub the seasoning mix evenly over all sides of the steaks. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook with the onions, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and lose most of their moisture, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove the mushroom-onion mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, or 155°F for medium-well.

Step 6

Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 7

Optional: If there are browned bits left in the skillet, add the unsalted beef stock and stir to deglaze the pan. Let the liquid reduce slightly and add the mushroom-onion mixture back into the skillet to reheat.

Step 8

Serve each steak topped with the mushroom-onion mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a baked sweet potato for a complete meal.
