Pan Fried Steak with Sauce

Baby Kato's Note:

My family loves this steak dish. It Reminds us of roast beef and gravy. It is very easy to vary this dish. (add your favourite mushrooms and sherry or dry red wine, or try substituting boneless rib steak or beef tenderloin for the sirloin and enjoy)

I didn't rub the steak with salt and pepper. When the bbq will be without snow, we'll cook the steak on the bbq and do this sauce. This sauce is so yummy. I used a large shallot instead of the sweet onion. The mushrooms are so yummy in this sauce. I used dijon mustard and a bit more. Thanks Baby Kato :) Made for the Austrian Swap for January 2011

I loved this it was really quick and easy to make and the end result was so flavoursome. I made as is except I used cream instead of milk and upped the horseradish amount slightly and added more garlic, just our preference. Since I was already naughty with the cream I went all out and served ours with baked potatoes, filled with sour cream, cheese and chives for a totally sinful meal, even more so for us as we are trying to watch the carb intake. It was worth every bite, the sauce was so rich and creamy and with the mushrooms it just went perfectly over the steak. Thanks BK for a delicious meal!!

Wonderful steak dish. Used horseradish and babybella mushrooms. Really delicious combination served with Recipe #220946 and sliced tomatoes with blue cheese. Delicious!
