This Steak with Haunted Garlic Cream Sauce is a rich, indulgent, and flavor-packed dish that turns an everyday steak into a restaurant-worthy experience. Juicy, pan-seared steaks are topped with a velvety garlic cream sauce made with broth, cream, and a hint of apple cider vinegar for depth.

Ingredients

  • 2–4 ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon steaks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for searing)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp apple juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Let steaks come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear steaks for 3–5 minutes per side, based on thickness and desired doneness. Remove and rest under foil.
  5. Reduce heat and sauté garlic in the same pan for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  6. Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and apple juice or vinegar. Simmer to reduce slightly.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard (if using). Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve sauce over steaks or return steaks to pan to coat.
  9. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.

Notes

  • Add sautéed mushrooms to the sauce for a richer flavor.
  • For spice, add red pepper flakes while cooking garlic.
  • To lighten the sauce, reduce cream and add more broth.
  • Sauce works great with grilled chicken or roasted veggies.
  • Resting the steak is essential to retain juices.
