Everyone loves sautéed mushrooms over steak. Here’s a great twist, using Hokto Kinoko White Beech Mushrooms. The mushrooms are briefly sautéed in a little pat of butter and gets a jolt of flavor from the addition of whiskey. (Serves 2)

Ingredients

2 steaks of your choice, 1 1/4″ thick (strip, rib eye, sirloin, etc.)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
salt (amount depends on how big your steaks are)
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon of butter
1/4 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 package Hokto  White Beech Mushroom, ends trimmed
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons of whiskey
2 tablespoons of heavy cream


Directions

1. Let steaks sit on counter for 15 minutes to take off the chill. Pat the steaks until dry, brush each side with the oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over high heat. When very hot, add the steaks and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the steaks, turn the heat to medium-high and cook for an additional 6 minutes or until you reach desired level of doneness.

Let steaks rest while you prepare the mushrooms.

3. Heat a clean frying pan with butter over medium heat. When the butter starts bubbling, add onion and sauté for 1 minute then add in garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.

4. To the pan add the White Beech Mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened.

Season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg.

Carefully pour in whiskey (if you have a gas stovetop, you may want to turn off the heat while you are pouring in the whiskey). Let simmer for 30 seconds then stir in heavy cream and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

5. Taste and adjust with additional seasonings if needed.

Serve the mushrooms over the steaks.
