Steak w a port wine mushroom sauce

I made steak with the roasted cauliflower so here is the other half of the meal.


Steak on a grill pan with a port wine mushroom sauce

Steak. Dude. Has to be quality. None of this dyed pink shit. Go get yourself a solid stake. like so...






Directions


Pull out your steak and liberally season it with salt and pepper
let it sit out for 10 min to bring the steak to room temp (I don't know why, it just works)
Heat up your pan to med - hi


Sprinkle a drop of oil, if it bounces back but doesn't smoke then its a good temp. If its smoking then pull you pan off for a min or two, to let it cool down
Throw on the steak, make sure it sizzles!
Turn after 4 min then cook a bit more to your desired temp
Place on counter to rest for a few min


Mushroom sauce
Prep your shooms! They are dirty birds.
Take a wet paper towel and rub them down :purrrrrrrrrrrr:
Chop the dry part of the stems off
Quarter the shooms for the sauce


Saute them in olive oil till they get a bit squishy
Add a half of cup or so of port wine or any wine really
let the sauce reduce for a few min
pour over steak and love it
