Copycat Applebee's Smothered Steak Skillet Recipe

ingredients

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES
2 pounds red potatoes
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cream
3 tablespoons butter
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup garlic cloves

SAUTEED ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS
1/2 pound yellow onions, peeled, cored, and cut 1/4" julienne strips
1/2 pound sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
granulated garlic, to taste
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

SIRLOIN STEAK SKILLET
2 3/4 pounds sirloin steak, cut 5 1/2 ounce size pieces
8 slices Mozzarella cheese

directions

For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Place a single layer of garlic cloves on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400 degrees F preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft. Unwrap and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with potatoes when they are ready. Wash and rinse potatoes under cold water. It is not necessary to peel potatoes, unless you desire.

In large sauce pan (or pot), bring red potatoes to a slow boil for approximately 20 minutes. The exact time depends on the size of the potatoes used. For faster cooking, cut into smaller pieces. Internal temperature should be 205 degrees. Remove from heat and drain in colander. In pan or bowl, combine potatoes, peeled and roasted garlic cloves, and all other ingredients and mash with a potato masher.

Return mashed potatoes to low heat, if necessary, to bring them to a serving temperature of 165 degrees.

For the Sauteed Onions And Mushrooms: Melt butter in skillet over medium heat and add onions and seasonings. Saute and stir until lightly caramelized.

Add sliced mushrooms and stir, as needed to avoid burning, until hot.

For the Sirloin Streak Skillet: Grill steaks to desired degree of doneness. Melt two slices of mozzarella cheese over two shingled steaks for each plate. Top with Sauteed Onions And Mushrooms, and serve with Garlic Mashed Potatoes on the side.

We were craving mashed potatoes so I went searching for a recipe and found this one. I scaled it down for only two people. I only used onions not mushrooms but I did roast the garlic (next time will buy some of the preroasted stuff my store carries). I didn't understand in the directions where it says "two shingled steaks". I just put one of the steaks on each plate and put the cheese on. That worked for me anyway!
