Ingredients
- 4 beef steaks
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, then boil them in salted water until fork-tender.
- While the potatoes cook, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until golden and softened.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with the remaining butter and heavy cream or milk until smooth.
- Fold the cooked mushrooms into the mashed potatoes and season with salt and black pepper.
- Pat the steaks dry and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steaks for several minutes on each side until the desired doneness is reached.
- Add a little butter and fresh thyme during the final minute of cooking for extra flavor.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving alongside the warm mushroom mash.
Notes
- Ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip steaks work especially well for this recipe.
- Sweet potatoes can replace regular potatoes for a sweeter mash variation.
- Cremini, shiitake, or portobello mushrooms add unique flavor depth.
- Parmesan cheese can be stirred into the mash for extra richness.
- Top the steak with fresh parsley or lemon juice for added freshness.
- Store leftovers separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat the steak gently to maintain tenderness and juiciness.
