Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ribeye steak
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Coarsely cracked black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream
• 1 small Shallot, finely minced

1. 1

   In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of the peppercorns, and olive oil; add the steaks and marinate for 5 minutes at room temperature.

   In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat, add the minced shallot and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Stir in the remaining soy‑marinade, bring to a simmer, then add heavy cream; cook 2‑3 minutes until slightly thickened.
