Are you ready to enjoy a delicious and comforting meal? This Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce is just what you need! It’s a perfect blend of juicy steak and rich, creamy sauce. Let’s dive into how to make this mouthwatering dish.

Ingredients

• 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried thyme)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare the Steaks: Start by patting the steaks dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if you choose to use it.

2. Cook the Steaks: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they are cooked to your liking. After cooking, take the steaks out of the skillet and let them rest on a plate. Cover them with foil to keep warm.

3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté it for about 1 minute until it is fragrant but not browned.

4. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir everything together. Let it come to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

5. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Keep cooking for another minute while stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain into beautiful pieces. Serve the steak topped with the creamy garlic sauce. Don’t forget to sprinkle fresh parsley on top for extra color and flavor!

Tips to Make Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce

• Choose the Right Steak: Ribeye and sirloin are great options for this recipe. Ribeye is more marbled, giving it a juicy flavor, while sirloin is leaner.
• Let Your Steak Rest: Letting the steak rest after cooking helps keep it juicy.
• Adjust the Sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer.
• Pair It Up: This dish goes well with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your tasty homemade Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce! It’s a great meal for a special occasion or just a lovely dinner at home. Happy cooking!
