A little lean cut of meat never hurt anyone
I was reviewing our blog the other day and I realized that it didn’t have any recipes that used beef. I know red meat is generally considered unhealthy but sometimes you crave it and that is all you want to eat. So when you get those urges, I have discovered that if you use a lean cut of beef and get it sliced thin it satisfies the craving and a little goes a long way! This recipe uses filet mignon cut really thinly and is topped with onions and mushrooms so you are still getting your dose of vegetables. To get the beef sliced really thin I just had the butcher do it for me, they usually will!
Pan Seared Filet Mignon Strips with Onions and Mushrooms
8 oz. of filet mignon sliced very thinly 1 medium onion sliced into 1 inch thick rings 1 pack of baby bella mushrooms sliced Garlic powder Salt Pepper Montreal Steak SeasoningIn a large pan put a teaspoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot add the onions and mushrooms. Saute in pan for 15-20 minutes until they are carmelized and browned. Once onions and mushrooms are beginning to brown add the montreal steak seasoning and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. If you can’t find montreal steak seasoning feel free to use any dry steak seasoning you have.
When the onions and mushrooms have about 5 minutes remaining in the cooking process sprinkle both sides of beef with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spray a pan with cooking spray and when it is very hot add the slices of beef to the pan. Sear each side for 11/2-2 minutes if you prefer your meat medium. Transfer the beef to a plate and cover with the sauteed mushrooms and onions.
