Steak and Spicy Mushroom Sauce
4 servings
25 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 8 oz sliced fresh baby portabella mushrooms
  • ½ cup diced fresh yellow onions
  • ¼ bunch fresh Italian parsley
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 2 (1-inch-thick) boneless grilling steaks (such as New York strip, sirloin, or ribeye; about 1 ½ lb)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ½ cup unsalted chicken stock (or broth)
  • 1 ½ cups tomato-basil pasta sauce
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps

    1. Place mushrooms and onions in food processor bowl; pulse until finely minced. Chop parsley (¼ cup). Cut bacon into ½-inch pieces (wash hands).
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season steaks with salt (wash hands). Place oil in pan, then add steaks; cook 3 minutes without flipping.
    3. Flip steaks and add bacon to pan; cook and stir 5–6 minutes until bacon is lightly crisp and steaks are 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer steaks to cutting board and let stand 5–10 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
    4. Add mushroom mixture and red pepper to pan; cook and stir 4 minutes. Add broth and pasta sauce to pan. Reduce heat to low; simmer 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by about one-half. Stir in parsley. Slice steaks; top with sauce and cheese, if using. Serve.

The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steak, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.

Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with soap and water after any contact with raw meat, seafood, or eggs.
