Beef Steak and Garlic Mushrooms
Finally decided to cook steak. I had never cooked steak before, as first of all its not allowed and second no one has a single clue on how to cook it. :-p But as I just simply love beef steak, after youtubing and googling a little I decided to experiment with steak as well as mushrooms It tasted amazing. Garlic Mushroom turned out to be divine as they were cooked in steak juice and the garlic caramelised well
Ingredients:
2 pieces of beef steak around 1 inch thick
600 gms of mushrooms
10-15 cloves of garlic
1 tsp of mustard sauce, 1 tsp of schezwan sauce, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1tsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp green chilly sauce, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp salted butter
salt and freshly ground black pepper as per your taste
10-12 tbsp of coconut oil
Process:
Cooking the Steak:
Coat the steak with salt and pepper
Heat the pan on high heat
Add the oil of your choice ( I used coconut oil and eye balled the quantity so that the steak can be shallow fried )
Smash 4-5 cloves of garlic and add to the hot oil.
Add the steak to the oil and cook each side from 3-4 mins each as per your liking of doneness. I personally like it well done.
Add a little butter for taste.
Once you feel that the steak is done remove it from the heat and wrap it in an aluminium foil and keep it aside.
Cooking the Garlic Mushrooms:
I used 2 packets of mushrooms each being around 300 grams. Cut the stems of the mushrooms and cut the mushrooms into small pieces if they are big.
I used the left over oil of steak and added a little more oil.
Add 3-4 smashed cloves of garlic, if you don’t like garlic your going to miss out the sweet caramelised garlic in the end :-p
Add 1 tsp of mustard sauce, 1 tsp of schezwan sauce, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1tsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp green chilly sauce, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce ( I had to google the spelling of this sauce damn it’s difficult :-p but tastes amazing ) and stir fry in the hot oil on high heat.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and stir well in the sauces and oil.
Add freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.
Remove the steak from the aluminium foil and place it on the serving dish.
Serve the hot mushrooms with the steak and enjoy
As far as carbs are concerned in this recipe its coming from the sauces. But the amount used it minute so it wont be high carb for sure
