Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature, ensuring even cooking.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or stainless steel pan over high heat until it's smoking hot.
- Add one tablespoon of butter to the pan and immediately place steaks in the skillet, allowing them to sear without moving for 3-4 minutes to develop a rich, golden-brown crust.
- Flip steaks and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.
- Remove steaks from pan and let them rest on a cutting board, tented with aluminum foil to retain heat.
- In the same pan, add remaining butter and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
- Pour in Worcestershire sauce and heavy cream, stirring to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
- Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Slice steaks against the grain and arrange on plates, then generously pour mushroom cream sauce over the top.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while the sauce is hot and steaks are warm.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always let your steaks come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and perfect doneness.
- Pan Selection Matters: Use a heavy cast-iron or stainless steel skillet to achieve that perfect golden-brown sear and develop rich, complex flavors.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook steaks in a single layer to maintain high heat and create a beautiful crust.
- Rest Your Meat: Allowing steaks to rest after cooking helps redistribute juices, ensuring a moist and tender result.
- Sauce Consistency: Simmer the cream sauce gently to prevent separation and achieve a smooth, velvety texture.
- Fresh Herbs Make a Difference: Use freshly chopped parsley for garnish to add a bright, fresh note to the rich, creamy sauce.
- Customize Doneness: Adjust cooking times based on your preferred steak doneness—use a meat thermometer for precision.
