Ingredients

2 pounds strip steaks

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons salted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 fresh jalapeños, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup white wine

1 cup heavy cream

Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Directions

  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. <br />Thank you Ree it was a keeper and we will make it again!
