Instructions:
-
Heat Indoor Grill: Begin by preheating your indoor grill, such as a George Foreman grill, ensuring it’s nice and hot for the steaks.
-
Season Steaks: Mix the salt and pepper together, then sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the steaks, ensuring they’re evenly seasoned.
-
Grill Steaks: Place the seasoned steaks on the preheated grill and cook to your desired level of doneness, typically about 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare result. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference.
-
Prepare Mushroom Wine Gravy: While the steaks are grilling, melt the butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions to the pan and cook until they become tender, which should take approximately 7 minutes.
-
Add Liquid Ingredients: Once the mushrooms and onions are tender, pour in the red wine and beef broth, and add the thyme to the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Create Thickening Paste: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a thin paste. Take some of the liquid from the pan and gradually whisk it into the cornstarch mixture until it forms a smooth paste.
-
Thicken Gravy: Carefully pour the cornstarch paste back into the boiling liquid in the pan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
-
Reduce Heat: Once the gravy reaches the desired thickness, reduce the heat to a minimum to keep it warm while you finish preparing the steaks.
-
Add Fresh Parsley: Just before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the gravy, giving it a burst of vibrant flavor and color.
-
Serve: To serve, place the grilled steaks on plates and generously spoon the mushroom wine gravy over the top. This dish pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or your favorite side dishes.
-
Enjoy: Gather your loved ones around the table and savor every delicious bite of these grilled steaks with mushroom wine gravy. The tender meat paired with the savory, aromatic gravy is sure to warm both body and soul on cold winter nights. 🍽️🍷✨
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a full-bodied red wine in the gravy, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
- Feel free to customize the gravy by adding additional herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the gravy before serving to remove any remaining mushroom or onion pieces.
- Don’t forget to let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to ensure juicy, tender results.
- Leftover gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
