Italian-style steak with Parmigiano is a delicious dish that combines a tender steak with the rich flavors of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Here’s a basic recipe for preparing this mouthwatering dish:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless ribeye or New York strip steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they develop a nice brown crust.
- Transfer the skillet with the seared steaks to the preheated oven and roast for about 5-7 minutes for medium-rare or longer for your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the temperature should be around 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Cover them with aluminum foil and allow them to rest while you make the sauce.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the white wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for a minute or two to reduce.
- Add the beef broth and heavy cream to the skillet, and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and continue to cook until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Return the rested steaks to the skillet, allowing them to heat through in the sauce for a minute or so.
- To serve, place the steaks on plates, drizzle the Parmigiano sauce over them, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
This Italian-style steak with Parmigiano is a decadent and flavorful dish that pairs well with roasted or mashed potatoes and a side of sautéed spinach or other greens. Enjoy your meal!
