Steak with Mushroom Cream Sauce
plus Roasted Potatoes & Asparagus
- Milk
Our ranch steak is so rich and gloriously meaty flavored that it could be a stand-alone dish. Still, we’re adding top-notch sides and a full-bodied sauce to this recipe so that it soars above and beyond. Crispy roasted potatoes and tender roasted carrots make it filling and hearty, while the creamy mushroom pan sauce spooned on top has savory complexity. Are you drooling yet? We’re pretty confident this steak dinner will more than meat your expectations.

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. (Save carrots for another use.)
• Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil; season generously with salt and pepper. • Toss carrots on empty side of sheet with a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 sheets; roast potatoes on top rack and carrots on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack until golden brown and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
Roast potatoes for 10 minutes (skip adding carrots). Once potatoes have roasted for 10 minutes, swap in asparagus for carrots; roast 10-12 minutes more.
• While veggies roast, heat a drizzle of olive oil and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium- high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crisp, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.
• Meanwhile, pat steak* dry with paper towels; season generously all over with salt and pepper. • Once mushrooms are done, heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium- high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in same pan over medium-high heat. • Add garlic and scallion whites; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrate and 1⁄4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4). • Bring to a simmer, then stir in mushrooms and any resting juices from steak; cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat. Stir in sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice steak against the grain. • Divide steak, potatoes, and carrots between plates. Spoon pan sauce over steak. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
Steak is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Loved the mushroom sauce. I added thyme to the potatoes and carrots and it gave it great flavor. I added fresh rosemary to the mushroom sauce. More and more I am using your recipe as the base and I add more to them. I have been a customer for 5 years and it seems like some of the recipes have cut back on herbs. I am fine with dried and not fresh.
This was overall pretty tasty. We loved the mushroom sauce, such good flavor, and the potatoes turned out amazing - crispy outside, melt inside. The steak was pretty good, but the cut of meat wasn't the best - mine was a bit gristly. A decent meal, but it wasn't our favorite.
The steaks varied in size so much. Cooking time varied. The mushroom sauce wasn't as flavorful as it could've been. I opted for asparagus but the instructions never mentioned asparagus - I had to wing it.
Great sauce that went well with everything on the plate. My only ask is that the meats could be packed with pieces of more similar size and shape so that they cook together more evenly.
This was so good. Steak was tender and yummy. I would liked to have mashed potatoes with that yummy sauce.
Very good! I added asparagus with garlic and also made the carrots. Added balsamic vinegar on the steaks and grilled them
The mushroom sauce really took the dish to the next level.
Really tasty! The steak had some fat that needed to be cut out but overall it was very good!
The steak was tender. The mushroom cream sauce was divine!
The sauce was very good. I substituted the carrots with asparagus for an extra cost. I wish carrots were not used so frequently as the vegetable in your dishes, and frankly, I am tired of seeing them as the standard option.
