Description

Tender steak enveloped in a flavorful garlic sauce, perfect for special occasions.


Ingredients

  • Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon recommended)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic (fresh or minced)
  • Heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Optional: beef broth or white wine for added flavor


Instructions

  1. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  4. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest while you prepare the sauce.
  5. In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  6. Pour in heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
  7. If you’re using broth or wine, add it at this stage and reduce the sauce slightly.
  8. Return the steak to the skillet, coating it in the sauce.
  9. Serve garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Searing the steak correctly is crucial; ensure your pan is hot enough. Let the steak rest post-cooking for a moist and tender bite.
