Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless ribeye steak
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cognac
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/3 tsp dried thyme)

Instructions

  1. Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
  3. Once cooked to your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare), transfer the steak to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, add chopped shallots and cook until translucent (about 2 minutes). Carefully pour in cognac and simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and fresh thyme, simmering until thickened (about another 3-5 minutes). Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thick pieces, drizzle with cognac cream sauce, and serve.
