Ingredients

Scale

Beef Steak

  • 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak (or your preferred cut)

Sauce Ingredients

  • 34 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or stock (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Steak: Pat the beef steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Let the steak rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Searing the Beef: Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add a mixture of olive oil and butter. Once the fat is shimmering, place the steak in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest while preparing the sauce.
  3. Making the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add more butter to the skillet if needed. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to brown it. Pour in the heavy cream and, if using, the beef broth. Stir gently and bring the sauce to a low simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  4. Combining Steak and Sauce: Return the rested steak to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Let the steak warm through for 1-2 minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Let steak sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before cooking for even doneness.
  • Sear steaks in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and losing a good crust.
  • Use fresh garlic cloves instead of pre-minced for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce gently on low heat to prevent the cream from curdling.
  • Allow the cooked steak to rest to keep it juicy and tender.
