Ingredients

  • For the Steak:
  • 2 to 4 beef steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon, about 2.5 cm thick)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For the Garlic Cream Sauce:
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 50 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Let steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear steaks for 3–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Remove from pan and tent with foil to rest.
  3. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add cream, whisk in Parmesan and Dijon, and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Return steaks to the pan and coat with sauce. Warm through.
  5. Plate steaks, spoon sauce over top, and garnish with parsley or chives.

Notes

  • Letting steaks rest before and after cooking ensures juicy results.
  • Dijon mustard adds depth but can be omitted for a milder sauce.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy variation.
  • Double the sauce if serving with pasta or mashed potatoes.
