Grilled Steak with Mushroom Tarragon Cream Sauce

Grilled Steak with Mushroom Tarragon Cream Sauce
Recipe by Dragon

Serves: 2

Yesterday was the first day I've been able to spend at home just relaxing in a long time. I thought I would treat myself to one of my favourite meals. Grilled steak with a Mushroom Tarragon Cream sauce served with my herb-roasted potatoes and a fresh cucumber and tomato salad. It was a wonderful treat.

I had planned to go out for a long walk after lunch but the weather had other plans. The sky became dark, the thunder began to roll and the clouds opened up with a strong downpour. So, I crawled into my bed, listened to the rain beating against my window and took a long nap instead.

It was a great day.

Ingredients:
2 steaks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 shallot, chopped
1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup whipping cream, room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium/high. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.

2. Grill the steaks until they are done to your liking. Take the steaks off the grill and allow them to rest on a plate tented with foil.

3. In a saucepan combine half of the butter, shallots and mushrooms over medium heat. Cook until the shallots are translucent.

4. Add the wine and lemon juice and cook for another 3 minutes until the wine is reduced by half.

5. Add any juices from the reserved steaks, cream and tarragon. Cook for another minute.

6. Add the last bit of butter and cook until it has melted into the sauce.

7. Taste the sauce and season it with salt and pepper.

8. Serve sauce, spooned over each steak.
