Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 ounces goat cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for thinning sauce) water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and coat them with olive oil on both sides. Season each steak generously with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

While the steaks are resting, prepare the creamy herbed goat cheese sauce. Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for 1 minute, just until fragrant—be careful not to brown it.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the goat cheese and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir constantly until the goat cheese has melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh parsley, chives, thyme, and lemon zest. Taste the sauce and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and stir until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 8

Plate each steak and generously spoon the creamy herbed goat cheese sauce over the top.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
