Here’s a simple and indulgent recipe for Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce that you can make at home:
Ingredients (for 2 servings)
For the steak:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter
For the creamy garlic sauce:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for a slight tang)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the steak:
- Take steaks out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the steak:
- Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil or butter.
- Once hot, add the steaks and sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for your preferred doneness).
- Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
- Make the creamy garlic sauce:
- In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard if using.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Serve:
- Place steaks on plates and pour the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.
