Stop and look for one second at this delicious Steak with Creamy Mushroom Peppercorn Sauce - yum!
Sometimes steak just isn't complete without a creamy peppercorn sauce and this one is low calorie and tastes amazing.
How do you like your steak? Years ago I probably wouldn't of eaten steak unless it was well done and charred, now however, I always order mine medium. When cooking a steak at home, it has to be my cast iron pan, you get a lovely sear like you just will not get with any other pan. I have one like this:

All steak really needs is good seasoning and it will taste amazing, but when I want a sauce, this is my go to and if you ever need a good excuse to make this sauce, mushrooms are a great food, so you are adding some vegetable to your plate with this. You can choose any type of mushrooms you like, but I always choose cremini for this dish. They have a dark colour to regular mushroom and a slightly richer flavour.
I like to serve this Steak with Creamy Mushroom Peppercorn Sauce with fries and some green veg of choice, sauteed shredded brussel sprouts are a great one when in season. This would also be great with any potato side - regular or sweet potato

This sauce is amazing! I never thought to use Philly for a creamy sauce and I rarely remember to buy cream. I've used the idea several times just to make a general, light creamy sauce to go with pasta since discovering the recipe. Great idea, thanks!

Loved this creamy sauce, went great with the prime rib. Adding the low fat cream cheese made this sauce feel special.

Love this tasty low syn recipe and adapted for vegetarian use by using Quorn Beef steak and a spoonful of marmite instead of beef stock! Delicious substitutes!
