Directions
Wagyu Steak
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Pat the ribeye filets dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
When the oil is shimmering, sear the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.
Add butter to the pan, then transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F for medium-rare.
Remove from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. The temperature will rise to 125 to 130°F as it rests.
Beet Risotto
Turn an Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat olive oil. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the risotto rice and sauté for another 2 minutes to lightly toast.
Add chicken broth, shredded beets, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to Manual High Pressure for 5 minutes. Quick release the pressure when done.
Remove the lid and stir in lemon juice and butter. The risotto will thicken as it cools.
Herbed Goat Cheese Cream Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add minced shallot and garlic, cooking until translucent.
Reduce heat to low, then stir in heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the goat cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
Turn off the heat and fold in fresh chives and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Recipe Note
To Serve:
Plate a generous scoop of beet risotto, place the rested ribeye filet on top, and drizzle with herbed goat cheese cream sauce. Garnish with extra herbs for a final touch.
This meal is as rich and indulgent as the occasion itself—a perfect way to celebrate love, great food, and unforgettable moments. 🍷💖
