Recipe: Dried Shiitake Mushroom Crusted Steak
June 24, 2011 at 7:06PM
• 1 tsp. butter
• 2 shallots, peeled and sliced
Directions
In a bowl, combine the mushrooms, salt and pepper.
Add the steak and use your hands to make sure the steak is completely covered.
Heat a cast-iron pan on medium heat. Add the oil and butter. Cook the steak until both sides are deeply brown. (I cooked my steak for about 6 minutes on each side and it was medium-well.)
Remove the steak from the pan and place on a plate to rest.
In the same pan, add the shallots. Cook for a couple of minutes until the shallots soften. Place the shallots on top of the steak and serve immediately.
