Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided 🫒
- 4-6 (6 oz each) filets mignon steaks (or your favorite steak cut), about 1 1/2″ thick, at room temp 🥩
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced 🧅
- 1 lb baby brown mushrooms, cleaned 🍄
- 2-4 medium garlic cloves, minced 🧄
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth 🥣
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped 🌿
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 🥄
- 1/2 cup almond milk, or 2% milk 🥛
- 1 tbsp cornstarch, or flour 🌽
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Steaks:
Begin by patting the steaks dry with a paper towel. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2️⃣ Cook the Steaks:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the skillet, ensuring they have plenty of space between them. Cook the steaks undisturbed for 2-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Once done, set the steaks aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.
3️⃣ Prepare the Mushroom Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onions for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Then, add the mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking and stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes.
4️⃣ Create the Sauce Base:
Stir in the beef broth and fresh thyme. Allow the mixture to bubble and reduce by half, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
5️⃣ Thicken the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar to add a touch of acidity and depth to the sauce.
6️⃣ Finish the Dish:
Return the steaks to the pan, spooning the sauce over them. Keep the pan on the heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, just enough to warm the steaks through.
7️⃣ Serve:
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
