Ingredients

• 3 ribeye steaks
• 1 teaspoon salt (for seasoning steaks)
• 1/2 tablespoon salt (for dry rub)
• 1 teaspoon salt (for cream sauce)
• 2 teaspoons black pepper (divided for steaks, mushrooms, and sauce)
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
• Whole mushrooms (as needed)
• Olive oil (for mushrooms)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/3 cup shredded cheddar mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Start by preparing the ribeye steaks. Remove them from the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover with baking paper and let them sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours to remove excess moisture. After 2 hours, remove the steaks, discard the paper, and pat them dry. Mix the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons sweet paprika to create a dry rub. Lightly sprinkle the rub on both sides of the steaks, using about half of the mixture. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.

While the steaks rest, prepare the mushrooms. Toss whole mushrooms with olive oil, spread them on a roasting pan, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes per side, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 2 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the steaks rest for an additional 6-8 minutes.

While the steaks rest, prepare the creamy mushroom sauce. In the same skillet, add 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/3 cup shredded cheddar mozzarella cheese. Stir until combined, then add 1 tablespoon butter and mix until melted. Serve the steaks topped with sautéed mushrooms and drizzled with the creamy sauce. Pair with your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.

Enjoy this juicy, flavorful ribeye steak that’s sure to impress!
