Ingredients

• 2 pieces T-bone steaks
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Shallot
• 1 clove Garlic clove
• 0.25 cup Cognac
• 0.5 cup Beef stock
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Take the T-bone steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Finely mince the shallot, garlic clove, and parsley. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and allow it to shimmer.

Step 5

Place the steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness). Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent them with foil to rest.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced shallot and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully pour in the cognac, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Ignite the cognac lightly with a long lighter or match to flambé. Let the flames burn off completely.

Step 8

Once the alcohol has burned off, add the beef stock and simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened and smooth.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Slice the steak off the bone if desired, and plate it. Generously spoon the cognac sauce over the steaks and garnish with freshly minced parsley.

Step 12

Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
