Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) Beef steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 small, finely chopped Shallot
• 0.25 cup Dry sherry
• 0.5 cup Beef stock
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Coat both sides of the steaks with the freshly ground black pepper and salt, pressing the seasoning into the meat to form a crust.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.

Step 5

Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet.

Step 7

Once the butter has melted, add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in the sherry and let it simmer for about 1 minute, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Add the beef stock and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt, if necessary.

Step 12

Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them, and cook for another minute to heat through.

Step 13

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the steaks to plates. Drizzle more sauce over each steak and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 14

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables.
