• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) New York strip steaks
• 1 teaspoon trans-fat free margarine
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 2 ounces sliced button mushrooms
• 1⁄4 teaspoon thyme
• 1⁄4 teaspoon rosemary
• 1⁄4 cup whiskey

directions

1. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4-6 inches from the heat source.
2. Grill or broil the steaks until slightly pink on the inside, about 10 minutes each side. A food thermometer will read 145 for medium rare. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the margarine over medium heat. Add the garlic, mushrooms, thyme and rosemary. Saute lightly until the mushrooms are tender, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and carefully add the whiskey (careful not to flame). Stir the sauce for another minute. Top the steaks with the mushroom sauce and serve immediately.
