Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) ribeye steak (or preferred cut of steak)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 teaspoons xanthan gum
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil, while preparing the gravy.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the broth to simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Whisk in the heavy whipping cream and cream cheese until smooth and combined. Let the mixture simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking constantly to thicken the gravy. Continue to simmer for 1-2 minutes until the desired consistency is reached. Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
Plate the steaks and spoon the gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious keto-friendly steak dinner!
