Ingredients
- 4 beef steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and the mixture becomes tender.
- Season the mixture with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley.
- Lay out the steaks on a clean working surface. Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal cut across the middle of each steak, creating a pocket for the mushroom stuffing.
- Stuff each steak pocket with about ¼ cup of the mushroom mixture.
- Secure the steaks with toothpicks to keep the stuffing intact.
- Sprinkle both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
- Transfer the steaks to a baking dish and place them in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare doneness or adjust the baking time according to your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving.
- Serve the mushroom stuffed steak hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
- Enjoy your delicious and flavorful mushroom stuffed steak!
