Instructions
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Generously season both sides of the top blade steaks with salt and black pepper.
- Drizzle olive oil over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time to achieve your desired doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes to retain their juices.
- In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to enhance the flavor.
- Stir in the heavy cream and allow the sauce to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Season the mushroom sauce with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
- Slice the rested top blade steaks against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Serve the sliced steaks with the creamy mushroom sauce drizzled generously on top.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Tips
- For added flavor, marinate the steaks in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before grilling.
- Serve with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus for a complete meal.
