Ingredients
Scale
2 large eggplants, sliced into thick rounds
1½ lbs beef tenderloin or sirloin, cut into medallions
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
6 garlic cloves
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 20 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Season the steak medallions with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear in butter over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
Add the whole garlic cloves to the skillet and cook until lightly golden.
Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Place each steak medallion on a roasted eggplant round. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then broil for 2–3 minutes until melted and lightly golden.
Spoon the garlic cream sauce over the steak stacks, garnish with roasted garlic and fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe can be customized with different types of cheese if desired.
Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when searing the steak medallions.
For a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the garlic cream sauce.
