Herby Butter Steak and Mushroom Skillet Dinner – Recipe

Enjoy a flavorful Herby Butter Steak and Mushroom Skillet Dinner, featuring tender steak and savory mushrooms in an aromatic sauce.

This recipe only uses a handful of quality ingredients and one pan for a divine experience. Mushrooms come in so many varieties, and I tend to appreciate them all, but button mushrooms do the trick here, and soak up those buttery herbal notes that fill your senses with an amazing aroma.  You can always get creative and choose more exotic mushrooms like Shiitake, or Maitake — but basic white mushrooms are delicious in this recipe.

I used an eight ounce filet mignon in this recipe, but if that’s not in your budget, a skirt steak, flank steak, or top round steak will work quite deliciously with a quick sear in a hot pan.  Earthy mushrooms and steak pair so nicely together, and to turn this dish into a warm weather treat – fresh herbs of mint, basil and parsley soften that deep umami taste.  Butter creates a richness that shouldn’t be left out and most of us agree, butter makes everything better.  It’s a perfect serving for two people as an entree or as an appetizer for four.
