Mushroom Sauce for Steak

This rich and luscious mushroom sauce for steak is the perfect pairing with an amazing slab of meat. If you're cooking your steak in a cast iron skillet then use the pan drippings for extra flavor. If you're doing it on the grill, no problem, just start with a clean pan and follow the same recipe.

Notes

If the sauce is looking too thin for your liking, add a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon cold water. 
Make sure you're tasting this sauce for seasoning throughout!
If you've cooked the steak in the pan beforehand, you're likely going to need less salt, so keep that in mind.
