Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz / 225 g each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup heavy cream (120 ml)
- ¼ cup beef broth (60 ml)
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (25 g)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Steaks: Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, then generously season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Sear the Steaks: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter. Once hot and sizzling, place the steaks in the pan. Cook 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest on a plate.
- Make the Garlic Sauce: Lower heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Flavor the Sauce: Add Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly (about 2–3 minutes). Stir in lemon juice for brightness.
- Finish: Return steaks to the pan, spoon sauce over them, and let simmer 1–2 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or crusty bread.
