Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick) | 2 |
| Salt and black pepper | To taste |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Butter, divided | 3 tablespoons |
| Garlic, minced | 6 cloves |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Beef broth | 1/2 cup |
| Freshly grated Parmesan cheese | 1/4 cup |
| Italian seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Fresh parsley, chopped | For garnish |
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Steaks
Remove your ribeye steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking. Pat them completely dry using paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Sear the Steaks
Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once hot and sizzling, lay the steaks in the pan. Sear for 4–5 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare, or adjust cooking time for your desired doneness. Transfer the steaks to a plate and set aside.
Step 3: Let the Steaks Rest
Loosely cover the steaks with foil and let them rest for about 5–10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping your steak tender and flavorful.
Step 4: Create the Creamy Garlic Sauce
Lower the heat to medium and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Pour in the beef broth and gently scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan—those bits add incredible flavor! Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens beautifully.
Step 5: Combine and Reheat
Place the rested steaks back into the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Let them warm up for a minute or two, soaking up all that rich flavor.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the steaks to plates, drizzle with extra sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a touch of color. Serve hot and watch everyone go quiet after the first bite.
This Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce is the ultimate homemade indulgence. It’s tender, flavorful, and drenched in a sauce so good, you’ll want to lick the plate clean.
