Ingredients
  

For the Steak

  • 2 pieces ribeye or filet mignon steaks about 1 inch thick
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
  • 1 tbsp butter for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mushroom Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter for the sauce
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives, for garnish chopped

For the Creamy Mashed Potatoes

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 tbsp butter for the mashed potatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cooking the Steak

  • Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
  • Remove and let them rest.

Making the Mushroom Sauce

  • In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for a few minutes until it reduces.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly.

Preparing the Creamy Mashed Potatoes

  • Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until they are tender.
  • Drain and return them to the pot.
  • Add milk, 3 tablespoons of butter, salt, and pepper.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy.

Serving the Dish

  • Serve the steak topped with the mushroom sauce alongside the creamy mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh chives.

Notes

Let leftovers cool before storing in airtight containers. They can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for 2 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving. For extra flavor, marinate the steak before cooking and check doneness with a meat thermometer.
