Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 12 oz each) ribeye steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. Let them rest for 10 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
Step 3
Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness). Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest, covered loosely with foil.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Slowly pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan and release any browned bits.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle xanthan gum into the gravy and whisk continuously to avoid clumps. Allow the gravy to thicken over low heat for another 2 minutes.
Step 8
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Stir in fresh parsley for added flavor.
Step 9
Serve the steaks with a generous drizzle of gravy on top. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
