I often hear people say that theyre too busy during the week to cook real food. While Im not really sure what real in this context means, I can only assume they mean something wholesome and delicious. The thing is, preparing real food doesn't have to be complicated or even time consuming.
So for all of you that say you dont have time to make real food during the week, heres a dish that only takes about 10 minutes to make thats worthy of being served up on a birthday, anniversary, (fill in your special occasion).
The brie melts all over the top of the steak giving it a creamy sauce thats simply divine with the earthy sautéed mushrooms. The wine deglazes the pan, releasing all the beef flavor caramelized to the bottom of the pan. Then it reduces down, coating each mushroom in a tangy flavorful glaze that balances the rich creamy cheese underneath.
The time it takes for you to prepare the mushrooms gives the steak just enough time to rest, allowing the meat fibers to relax and reabsorb its juices so that they dont run all over your plate when you cut into it.
