Ingredients

1 T-bone steak (about 1–1 1 / 2 inches thick), about 16 oz (454 g)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
3 tbsp (45 g) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz / 225 g button mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Steak:**
   - Remove the steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to cooking, allowing it to come to room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

2. **Cook the Steak:**
   - Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the T-Bone steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. Remove steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate, tented with foil.

3. **Sauté the Mushrooms:**
   - In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender. Season with a little salt and pepper.

4. **Make the Garlic Butter:**
   - Push the mushrooms to the side of the skillet and add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant.

5. **Combine and Serve:**
   - Coat the mushrooms with the garlic butter, mixing well, and remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet to plate alongside or on top of the T-Bone steak. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your classic, flavorful meal!
