A juicy steak seared to perfection and topped with a rich, creamy garlic sauce, perfect for cozy family dinners.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces beef steaks Opt for cuts like ribeye or sirloin for best flavor.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half low-fat milk for a lighter option.
- to taste Salt and pepper Season generously.
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the beef steaks generously with salt and pepper, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
Cooking the Steaks
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes depending on your desired doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor. Let simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combining and Serving
- Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and allow everything to simmer together for another minute.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
If using leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream if the sauce has thickened too much.
