Instead, dishes with steak are usually considered &#8220;gourmet&#8221; and require an additional supplement.  These are usually a very poor value, so I never ordered them.  I did this time because when I added to my cart, HelloFresh showed that the 65% off discount that I had applied to the supplement as well.  Alas, when I checked my account I realized that I was charged the full supplement price, which makes me feel defrauded.  Still, it&#8217;s a lesson learned and in the future I just won&#8217;t order any meals that require paying a supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This meal kit for Sirloin in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellofresh.com\/recipes\/new-york-strip-steak-in-a-mushroom-sauce-5d48662dc2206e00106578f2?week=2019-W38\">Mushroom Sauce with Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Carrots was pretty good<\/a>, if a little too much work.  It basically had 5 components that had to be cooked separately: the steak, the mashed potatoes, the carrots, the onions and the mushroom sauce.  I think one (the onions) could have been skipped without losing much beyond cooking time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But all ingredients were very tasty and, in particular, the mushroom sauce was phenomenal, which helped elevate both the meat and the mashed potatoes.  I&#8217;ve had similar mushroom sauces before, but I liked how simple and quick this one was (recipe below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marga.org\/foodblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-2763-1024x621.jpg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is IMG-2763-1024x621.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the ingredients were included and they were mostly fresh (the carrots were a little wobbly) and good quality.  The steaks were very, very thick but at least they were around the same thickness.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I paid a little over $20 for this meal kit, including the supplement, or about $10 per person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mushroom sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend you double the sauce<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>3 Tbsp butter, divided<\/li><li>4 oz white mushrooms, thinly sliced<\/li><li>1 garlic clove, minced<\/li><li>1 Tbsp. beef demi-glace<\/li><li>1\/4 cup water<\/li><li>1 tsp Dijon mustard<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melt 2 Tbsp. butter over medium-high heat in a pan, preferably one you used to cook steak.

Reduce heat to low and stir in the mustard.  Simmer until slightly thickened.
