Ingredients

For the Steak

• 2 large beef strip steaks or sirloin steaks

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon butter

For the Roasted Vegetables

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

• 1 cup mushrooms, halved

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Pepper Sauce

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup beef broth

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Season the steak

Start by patting the steaks dry with paper towels. This helps them develop a beautiful crust when they hit the pan. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

2. Cook the vegetables

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and mushrooms. Cook for about 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and lightly charred around the edges.

Once done, transfer the vegetables to a plate and set them aside.

3. Sear the steak

Using the same skillet, add olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. When the butter melts and begins to foam, place the steaks in the pan.

Let them cook for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and how done you prefer your steak. The outside should develop a deep golden crust while the inside stays juicy.

Remove the steaks from the pan and allow them to rest for a few minutes.

4. Start the cream sauce

Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until the garlic becomes fragrant.

5. Build the sauce

Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring gently. Add the Dijon mustard and cracked black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

6. Add the Parmesan

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely into the sauce. The sauce will turn silky, creamy, and full of flavor.

7. Assemble the dish

Place the roasted vegetables on a serving plate or bowl. Slice the steak if desired, then lay it over the vegetables.

Spoon the warm creamy pepper sauce generously over the steak.

Presentation

For a beautiful presentation, arrange the roasted peppers and mushrooms as a colorful base on the plate. Place the steak on top and drizzle the creamy sauce slowly over it so it pools slightly around the sides.

Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a little extra cracked black pepper. The bright herbs and rich sauce make the dish look just as impressive as it tastes.

Serve it hot with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad to complete the meal.
