This one-skillet steak with mushroom sauce is the best way to turn simple ingredients into a flavor-packed, restaurant-quality steak dinner in under 30 minutes! 

This easy Steak With Mushroom Sauce recipe is made with tender sirloin steak pan-seared to a caramelized perfection and smothered in a creamy sauce with portobello mushrooms, all in one pan.

Why You’ll Love This Steak Recipe

• One skillet. The sirloin steak and the mushroom sauce are cooked in the same skillet.
• Creamy sauce. This is the best mushroom sauce for steak – it’s rich, velvety, and so delicious.
• Quick. Pan-searing is the best and quickest way to cook a steak that’s juicy with a caramelized crust.

Ingredients For Steak With Mushroom Sauce

• For the Steaks: top sirloin steaks, coarse salt, fresh ground black pepper, butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic.
• For the Mushroom Sauce: baby portobello mushrooms, beef or chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and parsley.

How to Make Steak With Mushroom Sauce

1. Sear the steaks. Start by melting butter in a skillet with Italian seasoning and smashed garlic. Once melted, add the steaks to the pan to sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they’re done to your liking.
2. Cook the mushrooms. Remove the steaks, and add additional butter to the skillet. Add your sliced mushrooms, season, and sauté until they’re softened.
3. Make the sauce. Next, add the broth, followed by the cream, and cook until the sauce has heated through.
4. Serve! Plate up your steaks and spoon over a generous amount of mushroom sauce. Give them a sprinkle with parsley for garnish, and serve.

Steak Temperature Guide

The easiest way to tell a steak’s doneness is to check the internal temperature using an instant-read thermometer. Here are some easy guidelines to follow:

• 125ºF for Rare: Soft to the touch, and an indent remains when you gently press the top of the steak.
• 135ºF for Medium Rare: Soft but a little springy.
• 140ºF for Medium: Tighter and springy when pressed.
• 160˚F for Well Done: Steaks will be firm to the touch.

Recipe Tips

• Steak Cuts: For this recipe, I recommend choosing a top sirloin steak. Other good options are ribeye or New York strip steak. 
• Mushrooms: I use baby portobello mushrooms, but button mushrooms, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms are also good options.
• Skillet: A cast-iron skillet is the ultimate tool for cooking steak, but a frying pan works, too.
• Preheat the pan. The secret to a perfect sear is a hot pan and melted butter before you add in your steaks.
• Don’t crowd the steaks. Cook one to two steaks at a time, and don’t overcrowd the skillet. The meat needs space so that it can sear and not steam.
• Let the steak rest. Rest the steak – this allows the juices to redistribute.

What To Serve With Steak

Serve this saucy steak with a side of asparagus with lemon butter sauce or garlicky sautéed broccolini. For a steakhouse-style dinner, serve it with a baked potato or a plate of roasted sweet potato wedges on the side. Include a fresh chef salad or this lemon kale Caesar Salad.

Storing Leftovers and Reheating

• Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before reheating.

Notes

• Steak Cuts: Use top sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip for this recipe.
• Room Temperature Steaks: For even cooking, inside and out, take the steaks out of the fridge 20 minutes before you cook them.
• Mushrooms: Baby portobello mushrooms are my go-to, but button, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms work well too.
• Skillet: Cast-iron skillets are best for steak, but a frying pan can do the job.
• Preheat: For the perfect sear, ensure your skillet is hot before cooking the steak.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Sear just one or two steaks at a time to give them space to sear rather than steam.
• Rest the Steak: Give your steak time to rest after cooking, allowing the juices to redistribute.
