Sizzling Sliced Steak with Creamy Peppercorn Sauce & Roasted Potatoes is a restaurant-style meal featuring juicy, perfectly seared steak slices topped with a rich and peppery cream sauce, served alongside crispy roasted potatoes. Elegant yet easy enough for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin or ribeye steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- For the Peppercorn Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, crushed
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- For the Roasted Potatoes:
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat. Add minced garlic and the steak; sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time as preferred).
- Remove steak and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- In the same skillet, melt butter for the peppercorn sauce. Add shallots and crushed peppercorns; sauté for 1–2 minutes.
- Pour in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream.
- Simmer until thickened, about 3–5 minutes, then season to taste with salt.
- Serve sliced steak drizzled with creamy peppercorn sauce, alongside roasted potatoes.
Notes
- For extra depth of flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of brandy or cognac before adding the cream.
- Letting the steak rest before slicing helps retain its juices.
- Pair this dish with sautéed green beans or a side salad for a complete meal.
- Use freshly cracked peppercorns for the most aromatic sauce.
