Notes
- Steak thickness? Try to find thin steak (1/2 inch or 1.5cm) to keep the cooking time down
- Mushrooms dry when cooking? Add a little more oil to the pan if needed
- Serving kids - leave the steak to rest for 5 minutes and then slice the steak into smaller pieces
- Too much sauce? This recipe makes a generous quantity of mushroom sauce. If you won't use it all, for example, if serving children, reduce the amount of cream. Try 1/2-3/4 cup of cream.
- Leftover steak? Steak can be kept for 3-4 days in the fridge
- Leftover mushroom gravy? Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. The sauce is delicious served with chicken or white fish.
- Freeze the mushroom sauce? Leftover sauce can also be frozen
- No shallots? Use onion instead
