This Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce recipe elevates a simple weeknight dinner into a gourmet experience without requiring a restaurant-level culinary skill set. The combination of perfectly cooked steak and a velvety garlic butter sauce creates a dish that is not only comforting but also indulgent.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick, well-marbled for flavor)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup beef broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Carefully place the steaks in the hot skillet. For medium-rare, cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the minced garlic over the steaks in the pan.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes before stirring in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce.
Allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, thickening slightly.
Place the rested steaks on plates and generously drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over them. Garnish with chopped parsley.
