Notes
This recipe works with or without mushrooms. If you have them, use them, if you don't totally ok.
If you don't have a shallow on hand, use minced garlic and mined white onion as a quick substitute.
This recipe works best in a skillet that just pan-seared a steak. The pan drippings add depth to the recipe.
