Best Porterhouse Steak With Wild Mushrooms Recipes

BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND MADEIRA

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat (I make this on my electric frypan).
• Add in the mushrooms; saute until tender (about 10 minutes).
• Add in shallots with HALF the minced garlic; saute for about 3 minutes.
• Add in thyme and season with salt and pepper; transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season steaks with salt and pepper, and add to skillet.
• Cook the steaks to desired doneness (I cook them about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare).
• Transfer the steaks to a plate.
• Add in remaining 1/4 cup shallots and garlic to the same skillet; sate for about 2 minutes.
• Add in Madeira and boil until reduced by half (this should take about 3 minutes).
• Add in broth and boil until the mixture is reduced to about 2/3 cup (this should take about 6 minutes).
• Add in cream and boil for about 2 minutes.
• This is optional, do this only for a thicker sauce: in a small cup using a small whisk, mix together melted butter with 1 tablespoon flour; add to the simmering cream sauce; stir until thickened.
• Stir in the mushroom mixture, and then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
• Return the steaks to skillet and cook until heated through (about 1 minute).
• Transfer to plates and spoon the sauce over.

GRILLED GIANT PORTERHOUSE (OR T-BONE) WITH GRILLED EXOTIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Build a multi-level fire in the grill: Leave 1/4 of the bottom free of coals, bank the coals in the remaining 3/4 of the grill so that they are 3 times as high on 1 side as on the other. When the coals are all ignited and the temperature is hot (Hold hand about 5-inches above grill grid, over the area where coals are deepest, for 2 seconds or less), the grill is ready to cook.
• Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then rub them all over with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the steaks over the hottest part of the fire and cook until well seared on 1 side, 6 to 8 minutes. Then move them to the medium hot part of the grill and cook, turning once, until they are done the way you like them, 10 to 15 minutes more for rare. Check for doneness.
• Make mushrooms while grilling steaks: Combine the mushrooms, the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, and the teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl. Toss gently until the mushrooms are well coated and all the oil is absorbed.
• When steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest while grilling mushrooms. Put the mushrooms on the medium-hot part of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and moist all the way through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Slice the cooked mushrooms and put them back in the bowl along with the butter, parsley, and sherry, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss gently to coat.
• To serve, cut the meat away from the bone, then cut it into thick slices. Divide them among 4 serving plates and spoon mushrooms over the top.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH WILD MUSHROOMS
