“Cupid’s Steak” — The Steak So Good, It Stole My Husband’s Heart

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach — and after one bite of this dish, I have to agree. I call this “Cupid’s Steak,” because my husband can’t seem to resist it… especially that rich, velvety gravy poured over the top. It’s become a tradition in our house for date nights, anniversaries, and those evenings when I just want to spoil him a little.

🍳 Instructions

1. Season the Steak
   Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs.

2. Sear to Perfection
   Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat. Add butter, then sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your liking. Remove steaks and set aside to rest.

3. Make the Gravy
   In the same skillet, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden. Slowly add beef broth, whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Serve with Love
   Return steaks to the pan and spoon that irresistible gravy right over the top. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a crisp green salad.
