About beef steak with tomato and mushroom sauce recipe
A beautiful, thick sirloin steak is pan-fried to your liking, then served with an easy-to-make tomato and mushroom sauce, made right in the same pan. The sauce adds a savory and sophisticated flavor to beef steaks and is also delicious poured over pasta or vegetable sides like asparagus, broccoli, or artichokes. You can use any kind of mushroom you want, or combine a few varieties for any gourmet taste.
Is the tomato and mushroom sauce healthy?
Mushrooms are abundant with minerals and vitamins as well as flavor. One mushroom has as much potassium as a banana; potassium plays a huge role in cardiovascular problems and is known that helps regulate blood pressure levels. Mushrooms are also loaded with B vitamins like riboflavin and niacin, and also with selenium, a strong antioxidant proven to reduce the risk of some cancer types.
Fresh tomatoes are low in carbs. The carb content consists mainly of simple sugars and insoluble fibers. This veggie is mostly made up of water and is a good source of several vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, vitamin K, and folate.
To these two veggies, we can add the health benefits of garlic, tarragon, and parsley, plus beef steak’s health benefits.
Can I freeze or refrigerate the beefsteak and sauce (separately)? For how long?
The hard part is over and you’ve probably put your sauce to use. Maybe you made way more than you needed or maybe you made bulk amounts on purpose. Whatever the reason, you need to properly store your tomato and mushroom sauce and beef steak for future use.
1. Freezing or refrigerating the sauce
To freeze the tomato and mushroom sauce, it needs to be added in a tight container, preferably not plastic(glass is better). You can freeze the sauce for up to 5-6 months, but it is better to use it within 4 months. To refrigerate it, in the same glass container, refrigerate it for up to 4 days (it can be kept up to 6-7 days, but the texture and taste will change).
2. Freezing or refrigerating the steak
For the best quality, juiciness, and texture, use cooked steak within 4 months of freezing. Before freezing, wrap it in a plastic wrap. Steak may be safely frozen for longer, up to a year, but could be more susceptible to freezer burn. Note that once you’ve defrosted the cooked beef, you cannot freeze it again! If you want only to refrigerate it, you can do it up to 5 days.
Is this a professional recipe? Is it used in restaurants?
I have this recipe in my restaurant’s menu and it is very appreciated by all my clients, regulars and occasional clients alike. I usually like to ask the opinion of my clients while they are still serving, and I didn’t get any negative feedback. It is one of the most ordered dishes.
Notes and Tips
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry with more paper towels. This will help dry the surface of the meat, making a better crust.
- Respect the quantity shown in the ‘Ingredients’ tab when seasoning the steak.
- Make sure you’ll buy no-salt-added tomato paste and no-salt-added canned diced tomatoes.
