4 beef top loin steaks (approximately 1 1/2 lbs.)
1 tbsp. butter

SAUCE:

1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. onion, chopped
2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 c. half & half
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste

Trim steaks and allow to sit at room temperature for 2 hours.

Meanwhile prepare sauce: In a heavy skillet saute mushrooms in butter until they are slightly brown; add onions and continue to saute until onions are golden and transparent; sprinkle with flour and stir to blend. Add half & half, stirring a little at a time, simmer until thick and creamy. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

In another skillet, brown a tablespoon butter; add steaks and brown slightly on both sides. Reduce heat, cover and allow steaks to simmer for a few minutes in their own juices. Pour mushroom sauce over steaks and continue simmering for a few more minutes until they are tender and done to your liking. Serves 4.
