Ingredients
Instructions
- Slash the fat edge of each steak at 1-inch intervals.
- In a skillet, cook steaks in butter over medium heat to desired doneness (8 minutes for rare, 11 minutes for medium, 18 minutes for well done).
- Transfer steaks to a platter and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and green onions; cook until mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in lemon juice, salt, dried basil, and minced garlic; cook for an additional minute.
- Serve the steaks topped with the mushroom and onion mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even doneness. If you don't have fresh basil, dried basil works well. You can also use other mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for varied flavor. For a twist, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the mushroom mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Sirloin Special with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Macaroni And Meat Casserole for a comforting dinner. A glass of red wine complements the rich flavors of the dish perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Sirloin Special in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent overcooking. You can also microwave in short intervals, covered, to retain moisture.
