Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Ingredients Quantity

For the Steak:

  • 4 beef steaks (sirloin or ribeye)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup beef or chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional Additions

  • Sautéed mushrooms: Add for a deep umami boost
  • Red pepper flakes: For a touch of heat
  • Shallots: Finely chopped and sautéed with the garlic for added depth
  • Grated parmesan: Stir into the sauce for richness
  • Splash of white wine: Deglaze the pan before adding cream for extra flavor

Tips for Success

  • Room temperature steaks: Let steaks sit out for 20–30 minutes before cooking for even searing
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Sear in batches if needed to avoid steaming
  • Rest your meat: Let steaks rest after searing to retain juices
  • Use heavy cream: Avoid milk or light cream—they may curdle or not thicken properly
  • Deglaze the pan: Loosen browned bits after cooking the steak to enrich the sauce
