Ingredients

• 2 pieces rib eye steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
• 0.25 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional for a creamier sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Remove rib eye steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.

Step 2

Rub both sides of the steaks with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wait until the pan is smoking hot.

Step 4

Place the rib eye steaks in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Use a digital thermometer if needed: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, etc.

Step 5

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.

Step 6

In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt, then stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.

Step 8

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 9

If desired, stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 10

Spoon the garlic mushroom sauce over the rested rib eye steaks and serve immediately. Enjoy!
