To Braise or Not to Braise?
Braising is a great way to infuse tougher cuts of meat with savory broths and herbs so the meat comes out tender and juicy. Braising is an easy cooking method to perfect, especially for budget-conscious families or if cooking for a crowd.
How to Make Braised Steak and Mushrooms
This delish meal doesn’t require a lot of effort to make:

Delicious Steak Tips & Tricks
- Braising cuts of beef like rounds, cubes, or sirloins is one of the easiest ways to prepare these otherwise tougher cuts. Once the outside is seared, the braising liquid (broth, stock, even a dash of wine) and seasonings can slowly cook into the meat, guaranteeing a juicy result every time.
- For nearly all methods of cooking beef, it’s a good idea to bring the meat to room temp before cooking. This allows the meat to relax and helps any seasonings adhere. Also, allow meat to rest after cooking, before slicing.
- Make a super easy slurry by adding a 1:1 ratio of cornstarch to cold water and shake vigorously in a mason jar.
- If the sauce is too thin, whisk in some heavy cream.
Leftovers
Reheat leftover braised steak and mushrooms in a skillet on the stove, adding a little cream to thin out the sauce. Serve leftovers over Cauliflower Fried Rice or make a hearty soup by chopping the steak and adding extra broth, frozen vegetables, and seasonings. Or simply add steak and mushrooms to Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto.
