Steak with balsamic mushroom sauce



4 Beef steaks (your desired cut)
1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp pepper divided
2 tsp butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups sliced mushroom caps (you can mix different kinds)
1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce

Sprinkle steaks with 1/2 of the salt and 1/2 of the pepper.

Grill steaks to desired degree of doneness.

Heat pan over medium heat. Add butter coating the pan, cook until the foam subsides (about 15 seconds). Add garlic, saute for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, 1/2 tsp thyme, remaining salt and pepper. Saute mushrooms for 3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in vinegar, soy sauce and water; cook one more minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates. Top steaks.

hey Char. I was wanting to try this one and am wondering how many cups of mushrooms you use? It just says minced cups? Thanks. Your recipes are great!
