  • 1/4 cup Cognac
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 New York Strip Steaks

Instructions

  • Remove steaks from refrigerator for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a sautee pan over medium high heat. When hot add 1/4 cup olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, about 10 minutes, until golden brown.
