A comforting dish featuring tender steak paired with a rich and creamy garlic sauce, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks or your preferred cut
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter adds richness to the sauce
Sauce Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic, minced brings depth and flavor
- 1 cup heavy cream can substitute with half-and-half or non-dairy option
- 1/2 cup beef broth can use vegetable broth for a lighter option
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard adds a tangy balance
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce adds complex flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Generously sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of your steaks.
- In a large skillet, heat up butter over medium-high heat.
Cooking the Steaks
- Once the butter is bubbly, carefully lay the steaks in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and stir to scrape up browned bits stuck to the bottom.
- Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, then simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serving
- Spoon the garlic cream sauce over the cooked steaks and serve immediately.
Notes
Use room temperature steaks for better cooking. Don’t rush the searing process; the crust on the steak is essential for flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley for color and freshness.
