Steak with mushrooms, onions and gorgonzola

My husband loves steak, and although a well cooked steak with salt and pepper is good, we come up with ways to keep it interesting from time to time.

This is a simple way to make a fancy steak dinner, this is a frequent meal for us without taking to much time. You can tailor the steak choice to your preference, and sizes needed. I typically eat a six oz steak and my husband more like eight oz.

Ingredients:
2 strip steaks ~6-8 oz each.
1/2 medium onion cut into strips
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola
Grill mates steak seasoning or the following: salt, pepper,
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine to cook (the rest to serve with the meal of course)
Shown here:
Green beans and baked potato as sides.

Method:
1.Season the steaks on both sides and let rest on a plate, you also want them to come to room temperature if they've been in the fridge.
2. Prep the baked potatoes, heat in the microwave for 5 mins before putting them in the oven at 350 wrapped in foil with olive oil drizzle, some salt and pepper.

3. Heat a pan on need high heat with the olive oil. When hot add onions and sweat until translucent.
4. Then add the mushrooms and deglaze the pan with the wine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let cook down. If the mushrooms look dry add some oil. When finished to tenderness desired transfer to small serving bowl.
5. In the same pan, sear the steaks on high heat on the stove, 3 mins on each side. Then transfer the pan to the oven for 3-5 mins to desired doneness. This should produce a medium cooked steak.
When done place steaks on a plate to rest.
6. I quickly add green beans to the pan with olive oil and a tsp of water. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve steak and top with cheese, onions and mushrooms. Plate with potato and green beans. Paired with cabernet savignon.
