Follow this recipe to cook a perfectly seared steak basted in garlic butter and top it with a rich, creamy mushroom sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (10-ounce) Ribeye or New York Strip steaks, about 1.5 inches thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine (optional)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet (cast iron works well) over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Carefully place the steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, and thyme sprigs to the skillet.
  5. As the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the melting garlic butter over the tops of the steaks for about 1 minute.
  6. Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  7. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
  8. If using wine, pour it into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it reduce by half.
  9. Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  10. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  11. Stir in the chopped parsley. Taste the sauce and add salt or pepper if needed.
  12. Slice the rested steak against the grain, or serve whole. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce generously over the steak.

Notes

  • For best results, allow your steaks to come close to room temperature (about 30 minutes) before cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • If you do not have fresh thyme, you can use 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme added with the garlic.
