Steak with pepper sauce

Instructions:

1. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature. This helps them cook more evenly.
   
2. Season both sides generously with salt and coarse ground black pepper.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
4. Add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preference. Adjust time based on thickness.
5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate covered loosely with aluminum foil.
6. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
7. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Add the minced garlic and the teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
9. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, and let it simmer for about 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
10. Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
11. Place the rested steaks on plates. Spoon the pepper sauce generously over the steaks.
12. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
13. Your Steak with Pepper Sauce is ready to be enjoyed! Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
