Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Season both sides of your steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit while you prepare the rest.
Cooking Steaks
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, place the steaks into the pan.
- Sear each side until cooked to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Resting
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
Making the Mushroom Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully pour in the brandy and ignite it using a long lighter or match, standing back as the flames flare up.
- Once the flames subside, stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up tasty bits.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Serving
- Slice the rested steaks and top them with the mushroom sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Have everything ready before flambéing. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of beef broth to loosen it.
