Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, then remove and rest.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to skillet, then add cut carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Return skillet to medium heat, add 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in beef broth and balsamic vinegar, then simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Step 4: Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and chopped parsley to sauce, stirring until melted and combined. Slice steaks, serve with roasted vegetables, and drizzle with garlic butter sauce.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Auction House Steak take to make?

Total time is about 45 minutes (20 min prep + 25 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Auction House Steak?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep ribeye steaks from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Auction House Steak?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Auction House Steak for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
