Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds strip steaks
  2. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  3. 2 tablespoons salted butter
  4. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  5. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 2 fresh jalapeños, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  7. 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  8. 1/4 cup white wine
  9. 1 cup heavy cream
  10. Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the steaks dry and season well with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a board to rest for 7 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic, jalapeños and onion to the skillet and stir. Cook to soften the vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes. Deglaze with the wine, scraping the skillet and allowing the wine to reduce about a minute. Add the cream and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer and thicken while you slice the steak, about another 2 minutes.
  4. Slice the steak against the grain and shingle onto a platter. Top with the sauce and garnish with the parsley.

I made this for our Christmas Dinner. I had to double it and since it was Christmas I used 3 Jalapenos and a little bit of yellow and red bell pepper. We did leave some of the seeds out of the Jalapenos too. I used about a cup of wine I was afraid of the heat for my guests. I did used closer to 1/2 cup for 1 recipe ( x2) of wine. It turned out great and they all loved it.
Thank you Ree it was a keeper and we will make it again!

Loved the cream sauce! Delicious! We used strip steaks with our own seasoning and my husband grilled the steaks. As we were eating g, he was suggesting other dishes the sauce would be good on!

Unfortunately, no one liked this one. It seemed disjointed with the steak. We will stick with Ree’s Onion Blue Cheese sauce, which is a crowd favorite.

Question: Is it a 1/4 cup white wine or 1/2 cup that Ree used in the dish?

I made this today after seeing it on the show. 10/10 highly recommended! Don’t be afraid of the jalapeño heat. It’s very tolerable and there is plenty of flavor. Thanks, Ree!
