Lomito en Salsa de Champiñones

Lomito en Salsa de Champiñones (Steak in Spicy Mushroom Sauce) (Serves six to eight people)

Ingredients:

• 2 kg (4.4 lbs) beef tenderloin or your preferred steak cut

• 500g (about 1 lb) mushrooms, sliced

• 4 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 cup beef or vegetable broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

• Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

• Season the steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

• Grill the steaks to your preferred level of doneness. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes. Once rested, slice the steaks into thin strips and set aside.

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.

• Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

• Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown slightly.

• Stir in the tomato paste, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Cook for another minute to incorporate the flavors.

• Pour in the beef or vegetable broth and simmer for a few minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.

• Stir in the heavy cream and continue simmering for another 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

• Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the spice level by adding more red pepper flakes if desired.

• Return the sliced steak to the skillet, stirring gently to coat the meat with the mushroom sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the steak through.

• Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
