Juicy Steak with Heavenly Garlic Cream Sauce is a decadent main dish featuring perfectly seared steak topped with a rich, garlicky cream sauce. Ideal for date night or special occasions, it delivers bold flavors and a luxurious finish.

Ingredients

  • For the steak:
  • 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • For the garlic cream sauce:
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat steaks dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side until desired doneness.
  3. Add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs. Baste steaks with melted butter. Remove from skillet and rest.
  4. Reduce heat, add butter and minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté until fragrant.
  5. Pour in heavy cream, stir and scrape browned bits. Add parmesan and Dijon mustard, if using.
  6. Simmer until sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Pour sauce over rested steak and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness: 125°F (rare), 135°F (medium-rare), 145°F (medium).
  • Add mushrooms, chili flakes, or white wine for extra flavor.
  • Substitute cream with half-and-half or dairy-free alternatives if needed.
  • Rest steak before slicing for best texture and juiciness.
