Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak

  • 2 beef steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or preferred cut, about 8 oz each)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup white wine or beef broth (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Steak: Pat the beef steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sear the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time to your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks and let them rest on a plate while you prepare the sauce.
  3. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce: Reduce heat to medium in the same skillet, add butter, and melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and a splash of white wine or beef broth while stirring constantly. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme or parsley.
  4. Combine and Serve: Return the rested steaks to the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over them to warm through for about a minute. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures every bite is coated with the rich sauce.

Notes

  • Preheat the pan properly to achieve the perfect sear and lock in juices.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook steaks in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and avoid steaming.
  • Use fresh garlic minced finely for the best aroma and flavor in the sauce.
  • Allow the steak to rest after cooking to keep it tender and juicy.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or cream to loosen it.
