Ingredients
Scale
For the Steaks:
- 4 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
For the Garlic Cream Sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
For Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the Steaks:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until your desired doneness is reached (135°F for medium-rare).
- Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest.
- Sauté the Garlic:
- Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the minced garlic.
- Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce:
- Deglaze the skillet with the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth.
- Simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Add more broth or cream if needed to adjust the consistency.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the garlic cream sauce over them. Let the steaks rest in the sauce for 1–2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Steak Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness: 125°F (rare), 135°F (medium-rare), or 145°F (medium).
- Cheese Substitutes: Swap Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a slightly saltier flavor.
- Customizable Sauce: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for spice or a splash of white wine for extra depth.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
- Side Pairings: Serve with roasted potatoes, steamed broccoli, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
