- Rich and Flavorful: The garlic cream sauce adds decadence to perfectly cooked steaks.
- Versatile: Tailor the sauce to your taste—more garlic, extra creaminess, or a hint of spice.
Ingredients:
- Steaks: 4 (ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut)
- Olive oil: 2 tbsp
- Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
- Heavy cream: 1 cup
- Beef broth: ½ cup
- Parmesan cheese: ¼ cup, grated
- Black pepper: 1 tsp
- Salt: ½ tsp
- Fresh parsley: Chopped, for garnish
How to Make It:
1. Cook the Steaks
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season steaks with salt and pepper, then sear 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness (medium-rare: 135°F).
- Let the steaks rest on a plate.
2. Sauté Garlic
- In the same skillet, lower the heat and add garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Make the Sauce
- Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits for flavor.
- Stir in cream and Parmesan, whisking until thickened (5-7 minutes). Adjust with more broth or cream if needed.
4. Combine
- Add steaks back to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and let rest in the sauce for a minute or two.
5. Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle parsley on top and serve with roasted veggies, potatoes, or a crisp salad.
Tips for Success:
- Perfect Doneness: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Medium-rare is 130-135°F, medium is 140-145°F.
- Rest the Meat: Resting the steaks after cooking keeps them tender and juicy.
- Custom Sauce: Add extra Parmesan or garlic to elevate flavors further.
