Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Rosemary Garlic Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steaks:
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the Steaks:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side (for medium-rare), or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let rest.
- Make the Rosemary Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter.
- Once melted, stir in minced garlic and chopped rosemary, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add beef broth and scrape the skillet to deglaze, incorporating the flavorful bits from cooking the beef.
- Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Slice the steaks and pour the rosemary garlic sauce over the top.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Notes
- For a lighter sauce, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or omit it entirely for a more traditional pan sauce.
- This recipe works equally well with other cuts of beef, such as tenderloin or New York strip.
