Ingredients (for 2 servings)

• 2 rib eye steaks (200g each)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup cooking cream
• ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

1. Pat the rib eye steaks dry thoroughly with paper towels. This helps achieve a perfect sear.
2. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat until very hot.
4. Sear each steak for 2-3 minutes per side (or according to your preferred doneness). Remove the steaks and set them aside to rest.

5. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms become soft and golden.
6. Pour in the cooking cream and stir well. Let it simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.

7. Return the rested steaks to the pan or plate them and spoon the creamy mushroom sauce generously over the top.

8. Serve immediately while hot. Pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.

Tips for Success

• Let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
• Use a very hot pan to get a nice crust on the steak.
• Rest the steak for 5 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
• You can add fresh thyme or rosemary to the sauce for extra aromatic flavor.
• Adjust the thickness of the sauce by simmering longer or adding a splash of milk if needed.
