Ingredients
- Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Olive oil
- Butter
- Garlic (minced)
- Heavy cream
- Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Season the Steak: Generously season your steak with salt and black pepper, massaging the spices into the meat for that perfect flavor.
- Heat the Skillet: In a skillet over medium-high heat, pour in a splash of olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
- Sear the Steak: Add the seasoned steak to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Let it Rest: Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add a generous pat of butter along with the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and golden, about 1-2 minutes.
- Create the Creamy Base: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring it in until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes velvety smooth.
- Combine: Return the steak to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over it, and let it cook for an additional minute to warm through.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a pop of fresh color and flavor.
Notes
For added flavor, try sautéing mushrooms with the garlic, or add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
