# Required Ingredients:
→ Steak
01 -
1 ribeye or strip steak (approximately 250-300 grams)
02 -
Salt, to taste
03 -
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
04 -
15 ml olive oil
05 -
15 grams unsalted butter
→ Creamy Garlic Sauce
06 -
15 grams unsalted butter
07 -
2 garlic cloves, minced
08 -
120 ml beef broth
09 -
120 ml heavy cream
10 -
30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
11 -
5 grams fresh parsley, chopped
12 -
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side until medium-rare or your preferred doneness. During the last minute, add butter and continuously spoon the melted butter over the steak. Remove and let rest.
02 -
Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in beef broth, scraping the pan to deglaze and release browned bits.
03 -
Slowly whisk in heavy cream and allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes, thickening slightly. Add grated Parmesan and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
04 -
Slice the rested steak and spoon the warm creamy garlic sauce generously over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
For an even crust on the steak, ensure the pan and oil are hot before adding the meat.
02 -
Use a meat thermometer to achieve precise doneness, aiming for 57°C for medium-rare.
03 -
If the sauce thickens too much during reheating, add a splash of cream or broth to loosen it.
