“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.
❤️ Why You’ll Love It
This isn’t just any steak dinner — it’s juicy, seared to perfection, and drenched in a savory, love-inducing gravy made right in the same pan. The best part? It looks fancy enough for a romantic dinner, but it’s incredibly easy to make at home.
🥩 Ingredients
For the Steak:
-
2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
For the Gravy:
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 tablespoons flour
-
1 cup beef broth
-
½ cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
Salt and pepper to taste
🍳 Instructions
-
Season the Steak
Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs. -
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. -
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. -
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.
💘 A Little Secret
Every time I make this, the aroma fills the kitchen, and my husband somehow appears right on cue — fork in hand, ready to “taste test.” If food could flirt, this steak would be the biggest charmer of them all.
So whether you’re cooking for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or just a quiet dinner at home, Cupid’s Steak is the perfect way to say “I love you” — without words.
