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
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Season Steaks: Season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Sear Steaks: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan and allow them to rest to retain juices.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Create Sauce Base: Stir in the heavy cream and beef broth, mixing thoroughly. Let the mixture bubble gently to combine flavors.
- Simmer Sauce: Add the soy sauce and lemon juice to the skillet, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Finish & Serve: Stir in chopped fresh parsley to add brightness to the sauce. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the rested steaks and serve immediately.
Notes
- Letting the steak rest after cooking ensures juicy results.
- Adjust cooking time if you prefer steak doneness other than medium-rare.
- Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels in the sauce.
- Fresh garlic provides the best flavor; avoid pre-minced garlic for this recipe.
- This sauce pairs well with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
