Instructions

1. Pat dry strip steak(s). Season with ~1 tsp kosher salt total; press 1 1/2 tsp crushed peppercorns onto the surface (both sides or just one side for milder heat).
2. Stove: heat a skillet over medium-high until hot. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Sear strip 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare) or 4–5 (medium), depending on thickness, to 125–130°F / 135–140°F. Rest 8 minutes. (Slice off a plain portion for kids if desired.)
3. Veg: in a second skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add green beans + pinch of salt; sauté 6–8 minutes until crisp-tender. Transfer to a plate.
4. Mushrooms: in the steak skillet over medium, add 1 Tbsp butter. Add 8 oz mushrooms + 1/2 sliced onion + pinch of salt. Cook 6–8 minutes until browned. Add 2 minced garlic cloves; cook 20 seconds.
5. Peppercorn sauce: pour in 1/2 cup broth, scrape browned bits, simmer 2 minutes. Turn heat low and whisk in 3 Tbsp sour cream/yogurt (don’t boil hard). Taste for salt; add a splash of water if too thick.
6. Serve: slice steak, spoon a little sauce on adult portions, plate with mushrooms and green beans.
