Description

Juicy ribeye or strip steaks paired with a rich and creamy garlic sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye or strip steaks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for the sauce)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken or beef broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt to taste (for sauce)
  • Black pepper to taste (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Let the steaks come to room temperature for about 30 minutes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes on each side.
  3. Add butter, crushed garlic, and thyme to the skillet. Baste the steaks in the melted butter for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Use a meat thermometer to check for internal doneness. Remove steaks when they are 5°F below your desired temperature and cover them with foil to rest.
  5. For the sauce, reduce the heat and sauté the minced garlic in butter for 1 minute in the same pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
  6. Deglaze the skillet with broth, then add heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  7. Slice the steak against the grain, top with the creamy garlic sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

For a lower-fat version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based alternative.
