Juicy Steak with Mushroom and Onion Gravy

According to Albert, I am the Queen of Steak!! Flattering.  I've been really tired of constantly making chicken, so I was thrilled when Albert got two inch thick bottom round steaks.  Yes, they're tougher than I'd like, but hey, I couldn't say "no" to $3 steaks.  Unfortunately, there are no pictures because I forgot. BUT I promise, they were awesome!

I marinated the steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder and white pepper.  I don't like to add too much to steak because it's not like chicken.  It already has enough flavor.  After marinating the steaks, I cooked them in a very hot pan for 5-6 minutes on each side, for a medium sear.

When the steaks were done plated them and, I reduced the heat to low. I then added a chopped red onion to the pan.  After the onions became translucent, I added a can of mushrooms, drained.  I let them cook for about 2 minutes, then added about 1/3 cup of heavy cream.  Once I added the cream, I scraped the bottom of the pan with a spatula for another two minutes.

I topped the steaks with gravy and enjoyed!! They came out delicious!
