Remove the steak from the skillet and tent loosely with foil to rest for 5-10 minutes.

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Add chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Slowly pour in beef broth and soy sauce, stirring constantly until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in heavy cream and thyme, cooking until heated through.

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Slice the rested steak and serve topped with creamy mushroom sauce and chopped parsley.
