Steak de Burgo

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 3 hours

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick butter
  • 6 large garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 6- to 8- ounce beef steak per person Beef Tenderloin or Filet Mignon is traditional; I like to use Shoulder Petite Tenders
  • Kosher salt
  • Cracked Black Pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh oregano 1 Tbsp dried
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil 1 Tbsp dried
  • ½ cup wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook until the garlic just starts to take on some color.
  • Let the garlic butter stand at least 2 hours at room temperature.
  • Rub the steaks with olive oil, and then season with kosher salt & cracked black pepper. Let stand at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat your oven to 350.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. We want it to be hot enough to sear the steaks, but not so hot to burn the garlic.
  • Sear the steaks 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer the steaks to a baking dish and bake in the oven until they reach 145 degrees (medium rare) or your desired doneness.
  • Deglaze the skillet with the wine.
  • Add the basil and oregano and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the cream to the skillet; stir and simmer until thickened. If the sauce is overcooked, the cream and butter will separate – it will taste fine but it may not look as nice.
  • Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the sauce over the steaks and serve with fresh bread and a crisp salad.
