Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 12 oz each) ribeye steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. Let them rest for 10 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness). Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest, covered loosely with foil.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan and release any browned bits.
Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle xanthan gum into the gravy and whisk continuously to avoid clumps. Allow the gravy to thicken over low heat for another 2 minutes.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Stir in fresh parsley for added flavor.
Serve the steaks with a generous drizzle of gravy on top. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
