Steps:
- Season both sides of the cube steaks with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
- Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over med-high heat.
- Sauté the steaks for 4 minutes, then turn and finish cooking for 3 more minutes or until done to your liking. Move steaks to a plate and cover with foil.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over med-high heat and loosen any stuck bits of meat with a spatula.
- When hot, add the shallots and mushrooms with a loose attempt to keep them in a single layer as much as possible. Don't stir for the first 2 minutes to give them a chance to caramelize on one side, then stir periodically for another minute or two until mushrooms are deep golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes soft, about one minute.
- Add the cream and the steak juice from the cube steak plate and reduce the mixture by one-third. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, add the basil, stir briefly, then plate the steaks with a generous portion of sauce on top.
Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be. Look for avocados that are slightly soft when you squeeze them gently.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your guacamole will taste. Use fresh lime juice, cilantro, and onions.
- Don't over-mash the avocados: Over-mashing the avocados will make your guacamole too smooth and runny. Leave some small chunks of avocado for a more textured guacamole.
- Taste as you go: Add salt, lime juice, and other seasonings to taste. Guacamole should be flavorful, but not too salty or sour.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro: A sprinkling of fresh cilantro adds a pop of color and flavor to your guacamole.
Conclusion:
Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious guacamole that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give guacamole a try.
