Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 ribeye steaks (6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Season Steaks: Season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
- Sear Steaks: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium-rare doneness. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest to retain their juices.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add Cream and Broth: Pour the heavy cream and low-sodium beef broth into the skillet, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to bubble gently, beginning the thickening process.
- Simmer Sauce: Add the soy sauce and lemon juice to the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens and flavors meld together.
- Finish and Serve: Stir chopped fresh parsley into the sauce before drizzling it over the rested steaks. Serve immediately for a rich and creamy steak experience.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, simmer the sauce a little longer until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed after the sauce reduces.
- Allowing steaks to rest after cooking ensures juicier and more tender meat.
- You can substitute ribeye with sirloin or filet mignon depending on your preference.
- Use low-sodium beef broth to control the salt content in the sauce.
- Fresh garlic is recommended for the best flavor, but you can use garlic powder in a pinch (about 1 tsp).
