Fire-up the grill for the flavorful combination of grilled strip steaks with mushrooms. Perfect for a summer BBQ, weeknight meal, or date-night at home.
You may or may not know this about me, but in my past life [aka life before kids] and actually the past three years, I was a registered dietitian nutritionist for the beef industry. I worked on behalf of America’s beef producers and talked on-the-daily about the health benefits of my family’s favorite protein: beef. To say I loved my job is an understatement.
And before you ask, nope, we didn’t get free beef! But cooking and eating lots of beef we did, and still do today. There’s a reason Anthony repeatedly asks for more beef when it’s on our dinner table: Mom got pretty good at making meals like this grilled strip steaks with mushrooms recipe.
All About Strip Steaks:
Strip steaks [aka New York Strip Steak at the meat counter] are one of the many lean cuts of beef [think little fat], so it’s important you cook them in a way that’s not going to overcook the beef. Hence why I love grilling them with a simple rub like my go-to for almost every grilled steak plus one of my favorite steak toppings [sautéed mushrooms and onions] and guys, your kids will be asking for more beef too!
You can make your life even easier by prepping the mushrooms and onions ahead of time and reheating before dinner. I often make this same mushroom mixture during a session of produce prep and will use it throughout the week mixed in with sautéed green beans, a topping for burgers, or a topping for grilled hot dogs.

They look yummy. Make sure to let the meat rest before slicing, so it won’t be dry.
Great tip Lisa!
