Ingredients

Steak

  • 4 beef steaks (sirloin, ribeye, or strip)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley
  • Extra Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks: Pat steaks dry and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to enhance flavor.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil, allowing it to heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the Steaks: Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 3–5 minutes per side, achieving a golden-brown crust and desired doneness.
  4. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent loosely with foil to keep warm and retain juices.
  5. Make the Garlic Sauce: Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the skillet and melt.
  6. Sauté Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, careful not to burn.
  7. Add Broth: Pour in beef broth and simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly and intensify flavor.
  8. Add Cream: Stir in heavy cream and bring mixture to a gentle simmer, creating a creamy base.
  9. Incorporate Cheese & Herbs: Mix in grated Parmesan cheese and dried thyme or Italian seasoning, stirring well.
  10. Simmer to Thicken: Let the sauce simmer 3–5 minutes until it thickens to a velvety consistency.
  11. Season the Sauce: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  12. Serve: Return steaks to the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.
  13. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan, then serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a smoother, richer sauce texture.
  • Add sliced mushrooms sautéed with garlic for extra depth of flavor.
  • Pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
