Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Step 1: Prep Your Steaks

Remove steaks from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Sear to Perfection

Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat.

Add olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter. Once hot and sizzling, carefully add the steaks.Cook 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness.Transfer steaks to a plate.

Step 3: Rest the Steaks

Loosely cover with foil and let rest 5–10 minutes while you make the sauce.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

Lower heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tbsp butter to the same pan.

Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant—do not burn.Pour in ½ cup beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning.Simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce thickens to creamy perfection.

Step 5: Combine Steaks & Sauce

Return the rested steaks to the skillet.

Spoon sauce over the steaks and let them warm in the sauce for 1–2 minutes to soak up extra flavor.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

Plate the steaks, drizzle with more sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.Serve immediately while warm.
