Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak:
- 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
-
For the Steak:
- Season the steaks:
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the steaks:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer if needed). For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 130°F (54°C).
- Rest the steaks:
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- Sauté the garlic:
- In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden.
- Add the liquid ingredients:
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to add flavor.
- Add the cream and mustard:
- Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Continue simmering for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Finish the sauce:
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, if using, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
To Serve:
- Serve the steak:
- Place the rested steaks on serving plates and drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce.
- Garnish and enjoy:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
- Season the steaks:
Notes
- If you prefer a different cut of steak, you can use sirloin, filet mignon, or New York strip.
- For an extra rich sauce, add more butter to the garlic sauce as it simmers.
- You can also add mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor. Simply sauté them with the garlic.
- The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you make it ahead of time, you may need to reheat it and add a little extra broth to loosen it up.
