🥩 Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce

Serves: 2
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15–20 minutes

🧾 Ingredients

For the Steak:

2 ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon steaks (about 6–8 oz each)
1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for extra flavor)

For the Garlic Cream Sauce:

2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
½ cup (120 ml) beef broth
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for tang)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the steaks

Preheat your skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter.
Season the steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. You can also sprinkle some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme on top for extra flavor.
Sear the steaks: Once the pan is hot, add the steaks. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for your preferred doneness). For medium, cook for about 5 minutes per side.
Rest the steaks: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate while you prepare the sauce.

2️⃣ Make the garlic cream sauce

In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and golden, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Add the cream and broth: Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Stir in Dijon mustard (if using) for added flavor, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and add the steaks back to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Let them heat through for about 2–3 minutes.

3️⃣ Serve

Plate the steaks and drizzle the garlic cream sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or additional herbs, and serve with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

🔥 Tips

If you prefer a richer sauce, you can add Parmesan cheese or a splash of white wine while making the sauce.
For extra creaminess, you can stir in a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese when making the sauce.
You can cook the steaks in ghee or clarified butter for a richer, slightly nutty flavor.
