Creamy Garlic Chicken

Creamy Mushroom & Melted Cheese Steak

Ingredients

  • Steak: 4 Thick-cut beef tenderloin or medallions.

  • Seasoning: Salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder.

  • Mushroom Sauce:

    • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini).

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced.

    • 1 cup heavy cream.

    • 1/2 cup beef broth.

    • 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil.

  • Topping: 1 cup shredded Mozzarella or Gruyère cheese.

  • Garnish: Freshly chopped parsley.


Instructions

  1. Sear the Steak: Season your steaks generously with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet with olive oil, sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Remove and set aside in a baking dish.

  2. Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the beef broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up the flavorful bits from the bottom. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until it thickens into a rich gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Assemble: Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the steaks in the baking dish. Top each steak with a generous handful of shredded cheese.

  5. Bake and Melt: Place under a broiler (oven grill) for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and hot.
