At last, grilling season as returned! Well, for us, it never truly leaves, but you know what I mean. For many one of the first signs of spring is to return to cooking outdoors. You can smell it now, can't you?
During the hot summer months, I try really hard not to heat up the house with the oven or stove as much as I can. The grill usually takes care of the meat portion of the meal, but then I'm responsible for sides, and that's when I usually have to break my own rule. Sure, I can do cold potato or pasta salads, but sometimes we want more...that's where this recipe comes in. And I promise it's worth the little bit of heat it might put into the house.
I love mushrooms with steak, but not on top. We are kind of steak purists. We don't like anything taking away from the flavor of the meat itself, so instead we like them on the side. Just like we can get at our favorite steakhouse.
This is a totally new take on the traditional sauteed mushrooms I've made a thousand times. These are creamy! Just a hint of cream cheese gives them an unique flavor and texture that takes them to the next level!
If you have some steaks going on the grill this week, think about adding these to the menu too. You won't be sorry!
