I have an ongoing love affair with red meat…
So it should come as no surprise that I am doing another steak dish. This one is inspired by a recipe my late mom used to make.
The creamy mushroom sauce is decadent, rich, and luxurious.
I have dreams about swimming around in a pool of it.
It’s so delicious and versatile, you can also serve it with veggies, fish, chicken, or pasta.
My mom uses chicken stock to make her sauce, but I’m using red wine because let’s face it…everything tastes better with some vino.
So pour yourself an extra glass and enjoy it while you cook.

Instructions
Combine the ingredients for the rub. Slather on top of steaks and marinate for 2 hours.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the butter/oil and sauté the chopped onions and garlic till golden. Add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes until they soften.
Add the mustard powder, flour, and red wine and simmer gently till the sauce starts to thicken. Add the cream making sure not to boil the sauce (otherwise, it will curdle). Reduce heat and cook till sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
