Grilled Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 Steak (e.g., ribeye or sirloin)
• 4 Potatoes (peeled and cubed for mashing)
• 4 tbsp Butter (divided for potatoes and sauce)
• 0.25 cup Milk (for mashed potatoes)
• 8 oz Mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup Heavy Cream (for mushroom sauce)
• Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil (for searing steak)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Drain the potatoes and mash them with 2 tablespoons of butter and the milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

3. 3

   Season the steaks generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks to your desired level of doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and let rest.

5. 5

   In the same pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned and the moisture has evaporated.

6. 6

   Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

7. 7

   Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce thicken for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

8. 8

   Plate the mashed potatoes, top with the grilled steak, and pour the mushroom sauce over the top.

Notes

The mushroom sauce can be enhanced with a splash of Worcestershire sauce or fresh thyme if available. Ensure the steak rests for at least 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
