Steak with Mushroom Sauce and Asparagus

Step 1

Season the 2 steaks with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over high heat until sizzling, then sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until browned and firm to the touch.

Step 2

Remove the steaks and set aside. In the same skillet, add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook over medium-high until golden and softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the 1/2 cup heavy cream and stir, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the 1 bunch asparagus and cook, turning occasionally, until bright green and tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Serve the steaks topped with the mushroom sauce and the asparagus on the side.
