Instructions
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over medium to high heat.
- Add mushrooms along with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

- Pour in cognac and lemon juice. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a mix of mushrooms such as cremini and shiitake for depth of flavor. If you don’t have cognac, a dry white wine or sherry can serve as a suitable substitute. Ensure your pan is preheated to achieve a nice sear on the mushrooms. Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preference, and consider adding a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the New York Strip Steak Florentine with a side of roasted asparagus or a fresh arugula salad to complement the rich flavors. For a heartier meal, pair it with mashed potatoes or a grain like quinoa. This dish pairs beautifully with Cool Cucumber Dip With Fresh Vegetables for a refreshing appetizer.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mushroom mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. For best results, avoid microwaving, as it can make the mushrooms rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of steak for this recipe?

A combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms offers great flavor and texture. However, you can also use button mushrooms or any wild mushrooms you prefer, keeping in mind that the flavor will vary.
How can I enhance the flavor of the mushroom sauce?
Adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce during the simmering step can deepen the flavor profile of the mushroom sauce. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can also be stirred in for added aroma.
