| spray olive oil | |
| 8 ounces | small crimini mushrooms |
| 1/2 small | onion |
| 2 tsp | olive oil |
| 2 tsp | unsalted butter |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| fresh ground black pepper | |
| 1 Tbsp | fresh thyme leaves |
| 2 | 4-ounce pieces skirt steak |
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a large grill pan or skillet in the oven.
While the oven is preheating spray a medium skillet with olive oil. (The pan should be large enough so that the mushrooms are not crowded.)
Place over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms tossing occasionally so they begin to brown on all sides. As the mushrooms caramelize add the onion and olive oil. Toss and then add the butter, salt and pepper. Remove from the stove while the steak is cooking.
Spray the hot pan in the oven lightly with olive oil. Place the steaks in and close the oven. Cook on one side for about 6 - 9 minutes depending on how you like your steak. Turn and cook for about half the time (3 - 5 minutes).
After turning the steak add the thyme to the mushroom mixture. Stir well.
When the steak is ready serve over Mashed Yams topped with the sautéed mushrooms.

"Being American is to eat a lot of beef steak, and boy, we've got a lot more beef steak than any other country, and that's why you ought to be glad you're an American. And people have started looking at these big hunks of bloody meat on their plates, you know, and wondering what on earth they think they're doing."
-Kurt Vonnegut, American Author
The refrigerator light goes on...
While Kurt Vonnegut is right that we are looking at what we eat pretty carefully now, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t eat steak.
This is a super simple recipe and just like that steak house dish -- full of great grilled beef flavor and savory mushrooms. The addition of the butter may seem a bit “unhealthy.” While this is a higher fat recipe than I usually create, the butter is the perfect flavor for this dish. Think of this steak as your splurge meal -- terrific with any mashed potatoes, especially mashed yams, and a side dish of veggies -- the perfect American meal.
