Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Steak:
  • 1 high-quality cut of beef (ribeye, sirloin, or filet)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2–3 cloves minced fresh garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring the steak to room temperature by taking it out of the fridge 10-30 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and a knob of butter until shimmering.
  4. Sear the steak for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness, until a crust forms.
  5. Add the smashed garlic cloves and herb sprigs to the pan alongside the steak during the last few minutes of searing.
  6. Remove the steak from the pan, tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Lower the heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  8. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  9. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and optional Dijon mustard or smoked paprika.
  10. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Let it thicken slightly until it coats the back of a spoon.
  11. Return the rested steak to the pan and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over it. Warm for one minute.
  12. Slice the steak against the grain and pour any extra sauce on top.
  13. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  14. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use a room-temperature steak for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the steak.
  • Allow the steak to rest after searing to keep it juicy.
  • Cook the sauce over moderate heat to prevent curdling or separation.
  • Fresh garlic provides the best flavor for the sauce.
  • Add a splash of beef or chicken broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
