Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the steaks: In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and green onion. In a separate bowl, whisk egg and milk together until well combined. Dip each steak in the egg mixture, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place coated steaks on a clean plate. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Sear the steaks: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and the oil is shimmering, increase heat to medium-high. Carefully place steaks in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2 minutes without moving, allowing a golden-brown crust to form. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Transfer steaks to a serving plate and set aside. (Cook time: 4-6 minutes)

03

Step

Make the onion-mushroom gravy: Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped yellow onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch. Slowly add flour mixture to the skillet, whisking constantly until the gravy thickens. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let sit for 1-2 minutes; the gravy will continue to thicken as it cools. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)
