Ingredients

For the Steak:

2 ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon steaks (about 1-inch thick)

• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp butter

• 2 garlic cloves (crushed)

• Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

• 1 tbsp butter

• 4 garlic cloves (minced)

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ¼ cup beef broth (or chicken broth)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak

1. Remove steak from fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.

2. Sear the Steak

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until hot.

2. Add steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust based on thickness and desired doneness).

4. Remove steaks from pan and let rest for 5–10 minutes.

3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

1. In the same pan (do not clean it), lower heat to medium.

2. Add 1 tbsp butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

3. Pour in beef broth and scrape up any brown bits (flavor!).

4. Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard (optional), and Parmesan cheese.

5. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
