So I made a quite delicious dinner tonight. I want to document my method for making the Steak with Mushrooms & Onions, as I think it was a time-savor and also turned out tasty. Lately I’ve had to be creative with meals, as the bottom burner of our oven is currently broke. (Oh of course, I could contact our landlord, but I’m lazy—it’s awful.) So, as a result, I purchased a steak because I figured you want to broil steak anyway. In my opinion, steak is especially tasty when paired with onions and mushrooms, so here’s what I did: Turned on the broiler. Placed sliced onions and oyster mushrooms on the broiler pan top and tossed on some olive oil and pepper. Cooked them under the broiler till the onions and mushrooms were starting to look a little brown and roasty. Took the pan out, then transferred the onions and mushrooms from the top of the pan to the bottom portion. Proceeded to broil steak on top of pan. Juices from steak dripped down and made the onions and mushrooms even more delicious. I slightly overcooked the steak; probably should try something like 5 minutes on each side, plus letting it sit for a bit in the oven with the broiler turned off (no more than 5 more minutes).
