Steak with Creamy Mushroom Orzo

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook 3–4 minutes until softened.

2. 2

   Add the mushrooms and cook 3–5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

3. 3

   Stir in the orzo, then add the beef broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover with a lid, and cook 10–12 minutes until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir once or twice to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   While the orzo cooks, season the flank steak generously with salt and black pepper.

5. 5

   Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pan over high heat. Add the steak and cook about 5 minutes per side

6. 6

   After flipping, add the butter and thyme. Once the butter melts, spoon it over the steak repeatedly until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

7. 7

   When the orzo is almost done, remove the lid. Stir in the parmesan, cream cheese, and parsley until creamy and well combined.

8. 8

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the creamy mushroom orzo.
