Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

2 strip steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Kinder’s Buttery Steak Seasoning (or your favorite steak seasoning)
Kinder’s The Blend Seasoning (or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder)

For the Sauce:

1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon thyme
⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

Instructions

Cook the Steak:
- Season the strip steaks with Kinder’s Buttery Steak Seasoning and The Blend Seasoning (or your choice of seasonings).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook to your desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, oregano, and thyme. Stir until the sauce thickens and the cheese is fully melted (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine all the flavors.
Assemble the Dish:
- Slice the steak against the grain.
- Serve the steak on a plate, pouring the creamy sauce over the top.
- Serve with your favorite pasta (like rigatoni) and spoon some of the cheesy sauce over the pasta as well.
- Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

You can substitute the strip steak with another cut like ribeye or flank steak if preferred.
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
You can add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor and texture.
