Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce – A Perfect Dinner Treat!

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tbsp butter

1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tbsp butter

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

1 tsp fresh thyme or Italian seasoning

Salt & pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Steak:

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Season both sides with salt and pepper generously.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

When the oil is hot, add the steaks to the pan.

Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. (For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F internal temperature.)

Add 1 tbsp butter and rosemary to the pan during the last minute of cooking, spooning the melted butter over the steaks for extra flavor.

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.

Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium.

Add 1 tbsp butter and minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).

Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard (if using), and thyme or Italian seasoning.

Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:

Place the rested steaks on plates and pour the creamy garlic sauce over the top.

Serve with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Pro Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the steak before serving!
