Ingredients
– 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce:
1. Prepare the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
3. Cook the Steaks: Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
4. Remove the Steaks: Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and cover them with aluminum foil to rest.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
6. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any flavorful bits.
7. Thicken the Sauce: Add the Dijon mustard and Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
8. Season Sauce: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a lighter sauce, add a little more cream.
9. Serve: Arrange the rested steaks on plates, generously spoon over the creamy garlic sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
