INGREDIENTS

For the Steak:

  • 2 x 284g ribeye steaks
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves of garlic, lightly crushed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the Garlic Butter Mushrooms:

  • 300g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
METHOD

  1. Prepare the Steak:
    • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
    • Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Steak:
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the steaks in the pan.
    • Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until they develop a golden-brown crust.
    • Flip the steaks, add the butter, thyme, and garlic to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter, cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.
    • Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mushrooms:
    • In the same pan used for the steak, add 2 tablespoons of butter.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook over medium heat until they start to soften and brown, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
    • Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.
  4. Serve:
    • Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve with the garlic butter mushrooms on top or on the side.

Side Pairings:

  • Roasted Potatoes: Seasoned and roasted to crispy perfection, they offer a comforting and hearty side that pairs well with the meatiness of the steak.
  • Green Beans Almondine: Slightly crunchy green beans with toasted almonds provide a nutty and fresh contrast to the rich main dish.
  • Caesar Salad: A classic Caesar salad with its tangy and creamy dressing offers a refreshing balance to the savory steak and mushrooms.

Sauce Options:

  • Bearnaise Sauce: This tarragon-infused buttery sauce adds an elegant touch and a burst of flavor that complements the steak beautifully.
  • Red Wine Reduction: A reduction made from the same red wine you're pairing with the meal can accentuate the harmony between your drink and your dish.

Hot Tips

  • Letting the steak rest after cooking is crucial; it helps the meat retain its juices, resulting in a more tender and flavourful steak.
  • For an extra flavour boost, consider marinating the steaks for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator with your choice of marinade.
