Top Tips

• You can save time on prep if you use pre-cut mushrooms.
• You can make this dish spicier by adding some extra red pepper flakes while cooking.
• Mushrooms release a lot of water while cooking, but they evaporate as you cook. That will give you a caramelized and brown mushroom.
• Make sure the pan is hot before you add the meat; else, they may stick to the pan.
• If you have refrigerated meat, make sure to take it out at least 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry the meat with a paper towel so you can achieve a crispy crust.
• You can substitute fresh rosemary with dried rosemary.
• Do not overcook the meat as it may become rubbery and difficult to eat.
• You can also add water instead of beef/chicken broth, but the broth gives extra flavour and taste.
• If you want to thicken the gravy, you may just simmer on the stove.
• If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can substitute it with garlic powder.
• You can garnish the mushroom sauce with chives, parsley or thyme.
• Once the cooking is done, the steak needs to rest, so it is juice when you slice it.
• You can substitute beef/chicken broth with vegetable broth.

Recipe Variations

• You may add other veggies or greens like carrots, spinach, chopped bell peppers to the sauce.
• If you want the gravy to be a little creamier, you can add some shredded cheese to the gravy for a richer flavour.
