Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp whole peppercorns, crushed
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add crushed peppercorns and toast for about 1 minute.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard.
- Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
- Pour the sauce over the rested steaks, garnish with herbs, and serve.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream with plant-based alternatives.
- You can use filet mignon, New York strip, or sirloin instead of ribeye.
- Add a splash of brandy for a more robust sauce flavor.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing for the juiciest results.
