Steak & Mushrooms

Thaw the steak in the fridge overnight, or while you are at work during the day.

Dry the steak well with paper towel. I still have fresh mushrooms and squashes so working through those while they are still good.

Slice a couple of rounds each from the zucchini and yellow squash. Roughly chop a mini sweet pepper or two. And prep a mushroom or two. doesn’t take much of each to add up.

Prep the steak, I used my seasoning mix (link). This little cutting board is great size for one, I use it to transport to the range, as a serving tray .. Heck sometimes as a plate.

Season the steak well – since we are cooking over very high heat, the seasonings will actually char a bit and give a good smoky flavor. Turn the exhaust fan on.

Double fisting my cast iron for this one. The six inch for the vet, and the 8 inch for the steak. If you only have one use it for the steak. Steak loves cast iron. I love cast iron!

Start the veg over medium high heat, season with s&p and Italian seasoning. Preheat a second cast iron to high. Once it is hot add oil and butter, then the steak.

Cook the steak just a couple minutes per side, hot and fast for the thin steak. While the steak is resting, reduce the heat and cook the mushrooms in the same pan in the oil/butter mixture.
