Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 steaks (6-8 ounces each) ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 medium peppers, roasted, peeled, and chopped red bell peppers
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 3 fluid ounces heavy cream
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop cast iron skillet to high heat.
Brush the steaks with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the steaks on the hot grill or skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Remove steaks from heat, set aside, and let rest under aluminum foil.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the roasted red bell peppers and minced garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce. Use a hand blender or food processor to blend the sauce until smooth and velvety.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Return the saucepan to low heat and warm the sauce gently while stirring occasionally.
Plate each steak and generously spoon the feta pepper sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
