Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the right ingredients is crucial for a successful dish. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cognac
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Let the ribeye steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  3. Add butter in the last minute of cooking, spooning it over the steaks, then let them rest.
  4. Sauté shallots in the same skillet, then add cognac and scrape the skillet.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, simmer until thickened, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Slice the steaks, plate, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking time for desired steak doneness.
  • Be cautious when adding cognac as it may flame up.
