Ingredients
For the Steak: 2 ribeye or NY strip steaks (about 10 oz each) Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 2 cloves garlic, smashed For the Creamy Garlic Sauce: 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 4 garlic cloves, minced ½ cup beef broth (or chicken broth) 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 cup heavy cream ½ teaspoon black pepper Salt to taste ¼ cup grated parmesan (optional) Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Let steaks rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes and pat dry. 2. Season both sides with salt and pepper. 3. Heat olive oil in a hot skillet. Add steaks and smashed garlic. Sear 3–4 minutes per side. 4. Add butter and baste steaks during the last minute. Check doneness with a thermometer. 5. Transfer steaks to cutting board, tent with foil, and rest for 5–10 minutes. 6. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. 7. Deglaze with broth, scraping browned bits. 8. Stir in cream, Dijon, and pepper. Simmer 4–5 minutes to thicken. 9. Add parmesan (optional), adjust salt, and garnish with herbs. 10. Spoon sauce over steaks and serve hot.
Notes
Use any steak cut: sirloin, filet, flank, or skirt steak work well. Don’t skip resting the steak—it helps retain juices. Avoid boiling cream to prevent curdling. Freshly grated parmesan melts better than pre-shredded. Customize the sauce with chili flakes or herbs like rosemary or sage.
