Steak with Creamy Mushrooms & Polenta

recipe

• Step 1
  Peel & thinly slice the onions.
• Step 2
  Clean & thinly slice the mushrooms.
• Step 3
  Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions, mushrooms, salt & pepper. Stir & cook 4-5 min until slightly softened.
• Step 4
  Meanwhile, boil a small pot of water (1.5 cup per person) with a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Reduce the heat to low & whisk in the polenta. Stir & cook for 2 to 3 min, until you obtain a thick & creamy texture. (Add more water to thin out the consistency if you wish!)
• Step 5
  Once the polenta has thickened, add a small piece of butter & a pinch of black pepper. Mix well & keep warm.
• Step 6
  Heat a second pan over high heat. Pat the steak dry & add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan. Add the steak. Season well with salt & pepper. Sear it undisturbed for 3-4 min on each side, over high heat, for medium-rare.
• Step 7
  Once the mushrooms are cooked, stir in the cream & mustard. Mix & simmer for an additional 1 - 2 min, so the sauce thickens.
• Step 8
  On a plate, serve the polenta with the steak & creamy mushrooms on top. Re-season to taste & add a few sprigs of parsley, if you have any. Serve & enjoy!
