Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 4-6 ounces each) minute steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large (sliced thin) yellow onion
• 8 ounces (sliced) mushrooms
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 cup (low sodium preferred) beef broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the minute steaks with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.

Step 3

Add the minute steaks to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté with the onions for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and any released liquid has evaporated.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 9

Return the seared steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the steaks, lower the heat, and let them simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and tender.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
