Minute Steaks with Sherry-Mushroom Sauce
For dinner in a flash, start with the very thin slices of lean beef known as minute steaks. It does take more than a minute to cook them—but not much!

serves 4, 3 ounces beef and 1/4 cup sauce per serving
Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, stir together the grilling blend, oregano, and paprika. Sprinkle over both sides of the beef. Using your fingers, gently press to adhere.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook 2 of the steaks for 1 minute on each side, or until the desired doneness. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with the second 1 teaspoon oil and the 2 remaining steaks. Transfer to the platter.
Step 3
Pour the remaining 1 teaspoon oil into the same skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. Scrape to dislodge any browned bits. Cook the mushrooms for 4 minutes, or until beginning to richly brown, stirring frequently.
Step 4
Stir in the garlic. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring constantly.
Step 5
Pour in 1/4 cup sherry. Cook for 1 minute, or until slightly reduced. Remove from the heat.
Step 6
Stir in the half-and-half, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon sherry. Spoon over the steaks. Sprinkle with parsley and pepper.
Cook’s Tip
Step 7
In some areas of the country, minute steaks may be called thin top round steak. Just be sure the meat is really thin. It will be very tender if you don’t overcook it.
