Ingredients You’ll Need
To make this beauty, you’ll need the following:
- 2 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cognac (or brandy)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now, let’s bring this dish to life, step by step.
- Start off by seasoning your steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust the time depending on your desired doneness).
- Once the steaks are done, transfer them to a plate and cover them with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and throw in the butter. Once it’s melted, add the chopped shallots and sauté until they’re soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully pour in the cognac, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until the alcohol reduces slightly.
- Add the beef broth and let it simmer for another 4-5 minutes until it’s reduced by about half.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens up a bit.
- Now, return the steaks to the skillet, allowing them to soak in all that flavor for a minute or two.
- Finally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving up your masterpiece!
