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 the Steaks: Season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage for optimal flavor.
- Cook the Steaks: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side to achieve medium-rare doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest to retain 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: Stir in the heavy cream and beef broth, mixing thoroughly. Allow the mixture to bubble gently to start thickening.
- Simmer Sauce: Add the soy sauce and lemon juice to the skillet. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it is slightly thickened and flavorful.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the rested steaks before serving.
Notes
- Letting the steaks rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
- You can adjust the soy sauce for saltiness to your preference or omit for gluten-free adaptation.
- Serve this steak with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables to complement the creamy sauce.
- For a thinner sauce, add more beef broth or cream to adjust consistency.
