Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce


  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

A succulent and tender steak topped with a rich, creamy garlic sauce that elevates the flavors to the next level. Perfect for a special dinner or a weeknight indulgence. The sauce is simple to make and complements the steak’s natural juices, creating an irresistible dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Steak:
    Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and pepper.

  • Cook the Steak:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side (depending on thickness) for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the pan and let rest.

  • Make the Garlic Cream Sauce:
    In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

  • Finish the Dish:
    Place the steaks back in the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Let the steak absorb the sauce for 1-2 minutes before removing it from the pan.

  • Serve:
    Plate the steak, pour the garlic cream sauce over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with your favorite sides!

Notes

  • For a lower-calorie version, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Add some sautéed mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor and texture.
  • Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
