Description
Indulging in a succulent ribeye steak is one of life’s simple pleasures. When cooked just right, the rich marbling of the steak melts away in your mouth, leaving you with a flavor that’s both robust and tender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion (about 1 small onion)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or beef broth
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 teaspoon green peppercorns
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Begin by heating your cast iron or heavy skillet over high heat until it becomes very hot and just starts to smoke. This step is crucial as it forms the perfect sear on the ribeye, creating a rich crust. Once the skillet is hot, reduce the heat slightly and pour in the olive oil.
- While your pan heats, season both sides of the ribeye steaks with half of the salt and black pepper. When the oil shimmers in the pan, place the steaks inside. Sear each side for about 2 minutes for medium-rare steaks, adjusting the time to achieve your desired doneness. Remember, it’s essential to let the steaks rest once cooked, as this allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite remains moist and flavorful.
- While steak rests, keep the skillet on low heat and add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion. Cook until the mushrooms have released their moisture and appear browning, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the vegetable or beef broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any tasty browned bits from the bottom of the pan–this adds depth to your sauce! Next, whisk in the almond milk and almond butter until the mixture is smooth and meets a creamy consistency. Finally, incorporate the green peppercorns and remaining black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 1 minute until it thickens slightly.
Notes
Let the cooked steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to ensure juiciness.
