Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Cook the Steaks:
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. 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).
  4. Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest.
Sauté the Garlic:
  1. Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the minced garlic.
  2. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce:
  1. Deglaze the skillet with the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth.
  3. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Add more broth or cream if needed to adjust the consistency.
Combine and Serve:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
