Ingredients

For the Steak:

  • 2 boneless beef steaks (ribeye or sirloin)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For the Garlic Cream Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak:

  • Let steaks come to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to get hot.
  • Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the time for your preferred doneness.
  • In the final minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet and spoon it over the steaks to baste.
  • Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest while you make the sauce.

2. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce:

  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Scrape up the browned bits from the pan.
  • Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant.
  • Stir in heavy cream and beef broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Whisk in Dijon mustard and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Serve:

  • Place the rested steaks on plates.
  • Spoon the warm garlic cream sauce generously over the steaks.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Suggested sides: Creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad all pair beautifully with this dish.
