Okay, ladies and gents, let me tell you about a dinner recipe that’s going to make your taste buds dance and your family think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school! This Garlic Butter Steak and Mushroom Risotto is literally what dreams are made of – and trust me, I’ve made this countless times for dinner parties, and my guests always beg for the recipe.
Let’s get real for a second – we all want to feel like fancy pants in the kitchen sometimes, right? This recipe is your ticket to feeling like a total boss while actually being super doable. No professional chef skills required, pinky promise!
What You’ll Need:
– 2 ribeye steaks (because we’re worth it!)
– 4 tablespoons butter (don’t you dare skimp on this)
– 6 garlic cloves, minced
– 1½ cups arborio rice
– 1 cup white wine (one for the pot, one for the chef 😉)
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
– ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
– Fresh thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
Y’all, this is where the magic happens! First, season those beautiful steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them come to room temperature while you start the risotto – trust me on this one!
For the risotto (stay with me here, it’s easier than you think):
1. In a large pan, sauté those mushrooms in butter until golden brown. Set aside.
2. In the same pan, toast your rice with some butter until it smells nutty.
3. Add wine and let it reduce (this is when you take a sip of your own glass 🍷)
4. Gradually add warm broth, stirring frequently until creamy (about 20-25 minutes)

Now for the star of the show – the steak:
1. Heat a cast-iron skillet until smoking hot
2. Cook steaks 4-5 minutes each side for medium-rare
3. Add butter, garlic, and thyme for the last minute
4. Let rest for 5-10 minutes (I know it’s hard to wait, but patience is a virtue!)
Finish your risotto with Parmesan, fold in those gorgeous mushrooms, and plate it all up with your sliced steak on top. Drizzle with that heavenly garlic butter from the pan, and voilà!
Look at you, cooking like a total queen (or king)! This is definitely not your average Tuesday night dinner, but honey, sometimes we need to treat ourselves!
