The Ultimate Dinner Grilled Steak with Mushrooms

One of my favorite meals is steak. I could eat it morning, noon, and night. Seriously. I don’t because that much red meat is not good for you. But if I could, I would definitely do it! What is better than just steak, is pairing with grilled mushrooms. Steak with mushrooms is THE ultimate dinner.

Tips for Grilling the Perfect Steak

Here are a few tips for grilling the perfect steak:

• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 to 40 minutes before cooking. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow the steaks to come to room temperature.
• Marinate them in either Terriyaki Sauce for a delicious flavor, or Worchestershire sauce for a more subtle flavor.
• Season both sides of the steak with Lemon and pepper and garlic salt
• Most people will tell you not to flip your steaks but once, but my hubby is an A-One griller and he flips his steaks several times. The secret though is to let the steaks get their char on before flipping.

• Telling when a steak is done is not an exact science.  An instant-read meat thermometer is most accurate way; insert it into the center of the steak. Rare is 110 to 115 degrees; medium-rare, 120 degrees; medium, 125 to 130 degrees; medium-well, 130 to 135 degrees; and well, 140 degrees. (Err on the low side, since steaks will continue to cook when removed from the grill.) Allow the meat to rest for 3 to 4 minutes before serving, to allows the juices to emerge from the center.
• Top the steak off with a pat of butter while it is resting.
