Cowboy Steaks

Ingredients

4 10-ounce ribeye steaks, 1-inch thick
5 teaspoons Creole Seasoning, or to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
6 cups assorted fresh wild mushrooms (Chanterelles, Shiitake, Oyster, Black Trumpets), sliced
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
Black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in 8 pieces

Sprinkle steaks all over with Creole seasoning, 1 teaspoon for each; pound seasoning into meat once or twice with the side of a heavy knife or palm of your hand.
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. When oil is very hot and almost smoking, add steaks and sear first side only, about 4 minutes. Turn steaks to sear other side, 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, yellow and green onions, garlic, salt, 10 turns pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning; sauté 2 minutes. Turn steaks again, dot with butter, cover skillet and cook 1 minute more. Serve steaks with mushrooms and juices spooned over.
