Ingredients
- 600g steak (sirloin or tenderloin), trimmed and pounded to even thickness
- Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter, divided
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Grand Marnier (optional)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
-
Prepare the Steak:
- Trim any excess fat from the steak and pound it to an even thickness. Season both sides generously with ground black pepper.
-
-
Cook the Steak:
- In a large frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
-
Make the Sauce:
- Add the remaining butter to the pan. Lower the heat and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onions are softened.
-
Deglaze the Pan:
- Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and Grand Marnier (if using), stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a minute to reduce slightly.
-
Add Cream and Simmer:
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Be careful not to let it boil.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked steaks to the pan, coating them evenly with the sauce. Cook for another minute or two until the steaks are heated through.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the steaks. Serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite potatoes and a fresh salad.
Notes
- Variations: For extra flavor, consider adding mushrooms or a touch of Dijon mustard to the sauce.
- Tips: Have all your sauce ingredients measured and ready before you begin cooking for a smooth preparation process.
