Tips for the Best Juicy Steak & Mushroom Sauce
• Use a Hot Pan – A well-heated pan creates a perfect sear on the steaks.
• Season the Meat Well – The flour coating adds flavour and thickens the sauce.
• Let the Steak Rest – Before serving, let the steak sit for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
• Enhance the Sauce – Add a splash of cream, red wine, or Worcestershire sauce for extra depth.
• For the Best Texture – Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying the steaks—cook in batches for even browning.
