Porcini-Seasoned Steak au Poivre
Mushroom powder sounds illicit, but it’s actually a secret-weapon umami bomb. We pulverize dried porcini mushrooms, mix them with salt and pepper, then rub it all over steaks for intense seasoning. We also stir some into water for an instant broth for making a full-flavored pan sauce. Crème fraîche, instead of heavy cream, gives the sauce body and richness. Avoid moving the steaks until halfway through cooking. They will release easily when properly seared.

Delicious
So easy to make. Very little clean up. The porcini rub creates a wonderful crust.

Just ok
Was expecting more mushroom. Was a bit of work. Glad I tried it but not a repeat for me.
