Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak (1-inch thick)
- 2 tbsp fresh ground black and green peppercorns
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, whole
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup white wine (optional)
- Fresh herbs (like thyme) to taste
Instructions
- Take the steak out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil until shimmering. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes without moving it, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until desired doneness.
- Remove the steak and cover loosely with foil to rest. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, add butter, chopped shallots, and garlic; sauté for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in beef broth (and white wine if using), scraping any brown bits from the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and peppercorns; let simmer on low heat until slightly thickened (3-5 minutes).
- Serve the steak topped with the creamy sauce alongside your favorite sides.
