Ingredients
- 2 strip steaks, 8 ounces each
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic reduction
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
Instructions
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
- Season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil.
- Place the steaks into the hot skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on the first side without moving them.
- Flip the steaks and cook another 3 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and allow them to rest.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced garlic, and thyme leaves.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and scrape the skillet to release browned bits.
- Stir in the heavy cream, whole-grain mustard, and balsamic reduction.
- Simmer gently for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Slice the steaks against the grain into thin strips.
- Arrange on serving plates and spoon the sauce generously over the top.
- Garnish with freshly minced chives and serve immediately.
Notes
- Filet mignon or ribeye can replace strip steak.
- Shallots may be substituted for red onion for a milder flavor.
- Add mushrooms for extra texture and savory depth.
- Half-and-half can replace heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
- Fresh parsley works well instead of chives.
- Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
- Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently with a splash of broth or cream to keep the sauce smooth.
- Freezing is not recommended due to the cream sauce.
