Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or strip)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for searing)
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.5 cup onion (finely diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup beef broth (Whole30-compliant)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat and add the olive oil or avocado oil.

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside to rest, tented with foil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the ghee.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're lightly browned and softened.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth and coconut milk, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Add the fresh thyme to the mushroom sauce and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Plate the steaks and spoon the mushroom sauce generously over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Steak with Mushroom Sauce!
