Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks boneless or bone-in
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic whole
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon sherry cooking wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- additional salt and pepper as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the center of a steak. Rinse and pat dry the 2 ribeye steaks. Coat with a thin layer of 1 tablespoon olive oil and cover with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Heat a cast iron or stainless steel pan over extremely high heat. Add the steaks to the hot pan.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the 3 tablespoons butter along with the 1 sprig fresh rosemary and 4 cloves garlic. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter on top of the steaks while they cook. Sear to a nice brown color on both sides. This should take 3-5 minutes on each side. Once seared, transfer steaks to prepared pan and finish cooking in preheated oven. If cooking to medium, cook until internal temperature hits 135°F. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
- As soon as you remove the steaks from the pan, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Be quick so that the butter doesn't burn in an empty pan. Stir once to coat and then allow to cook, undisturbed, for a few minutes until they start to brown. Stir occasionally. When the mushrooms have browned and there is not longer any liquid in the pan, add 1 tablespoon sherry cooking wine and deglaze the pan by scraping the bottom to loosen any bits that may have stuck during the cooking process.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the 1 cup heavy cream. Allow sauce to come to a simmer. Sauce will thicken and reduce as it cooks. This should only take a few minutes. Flavor with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
- To serve, remove from heat and remove garlic and rosemary. Add steaks back to the pan with the sauce along with any juices from the plate.
Notes
Two full size ribeye steaks should make enough for 4 smallish size servings.
