Ingredients
Instructions
- Sear the steak in butter to seal in the juices.

- Add the beef consommé to the pan and pour over the steak.
- Cover and cook over low heat for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more tender steak, consider marinating it for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have Worcestershire powder, a splash of liquid Worcestershire sauce can be used instead. Adjust the seasoning to your taste; adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can elevate the dish. Be cautious with Tabasco; start with a small amount and increase to your preference.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Steak Oscar with creamy mashed potatoes or a side of sautéed vegetables for a complete meal. A fresh garden salad or steamed asparagus pairs well, balancing the richness of the beef. For a hearty option, consider serving with Rhett'S Favorite Casserole, which complements the flavors beautifully.

Leftover Steak Oscar can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over low heat with a splash of beef consommé to keep it moist. Cover the pan to trap heat and ensure even warming without drying out the meat.
