Best 3 Thyme Rubbed Steaks With Sauteed Mushrooms Recipes

NEW YORK STRIP STEAK WITH BRANDIED MUSHROOMS AND FRESH THYME

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until smoking. Sprinkle the steaks all over with salt and pepper. Put the steaks in the pan and cook, turning to brown all sides completely, until medium-rare, 8 to 10 minutes depending on how thick the steaks are. Remove the steaks to a platter with tongs and cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil to keep the meat warm while you make the sauce.
• Put the saute pan back over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup olive oil. When the oil is smoking, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, about 10 minutes, until golden brown. Then add the thyme and garlic, and season well with salt and pepper. Toss a few more times to cook the garlic, then dump the mushrooms out onto a platter. Take the pan off the heat, add the brandy, and cook until almost evaporated. Add the cream and cook that down 2 to 3 minutes until reduced by about one-half and thickened. Return the mushrooms to the pan with whatever juices have collected on the platter and simmer the whole thing another 2 minutes until thickened again. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the steak thin against the grain. Taste the sauce for salt and pepper and serve.

THYME HONORED STEAK

Steps:

• Drizzle two teaspoons olive oil on steaks and spread with your hands to cover steaks with a film of oil. Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper. Coat both sides with thyme leaves, pressing with your hands to make them adhere. Heat the two tablespoons olive oil on high heat in a heavy skillet until very hot but not smoking. Add one tablespoon butter, tilting the pan to coat and immediately add steaks and sear until steaks are beginning to brown and a nice crust forms, about 3-4 minutes.
• Turn steaks, reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking until steaks are medium rare, about another 4 minutes depending on thickness of steaks. Remove steaks to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium and add shallot to pan, cook stirring until shallot begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
• Add wine to pan and continue cooking, scraping bottom of pan to loosen brown bits. When almost all wine has evaporated, add chicken broth, raise heat to high and boil until reduced by half. Swirl in remaining butter. Taste sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed, then pour over steaks. Serve immediately.
