Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 200 grams cremini or white mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 100 grams blue cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes before cooking.
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear each side for 3-5 minutes, depending on desired doneness (3 minutes for medium-rare, 5 for medium).
Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover them loosely with foil, and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and softened.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2 minutes while stirring.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the skillet, stirring until it melts and combines into a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Return the steak to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
