Categories     Steak

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cube steaks
3 -4 tablespoons cracked black pepper (Please use McCormick's Cracked Black Pepper or equivalent, regular black pepper is NOT workable here)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon soft butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced (the Italian brown ones, or use small portabellas)
1 shallot, peeled and minced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon basil, chopped (fresh only or it won't taste the same)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons soft unsalted butter

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.

This is one of my favorite recipes! I've made it many times and it's always a hit. The steak is always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. I usually serve it over mashed potatoes or rice.

I've tried many cube steak recipes and this is by far the best. The steak is so tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and delicious. I always serve it over rice and it's a meal that the whole family loves.

A bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use half the amount of salt next time.

This is one of my favorite recipes from this website. I've made it at least a dozen times and it's always a hit. The steak is always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. I usually serve it over mashed potatoes.

I used chicken instead of steak and it was still delicious! The sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure you don't skip it.

Not a huge fan of peppercorns but this dish was still really good. The sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the steak was tender and juicy. I'll probably make it again but use less peppercorns next time.

OMG! The peppercorns really give this dish a nice kick! I doubled the amount of mushrooms because we love them in our house. Served over rice and it was a hit with the whole family. Will definitely make again!
