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 beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the meat.
- Sear the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side to achieve a medium-rare doneness. Remove from the pan and let them rest to retain juices.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant without browning.
- Add Cream and Broth: Stir in the heavy cream and low-sodium beef broth, mixing thoroughly. Let the mixture bubble gently to start combining flavors.
- Simmer with Soy and Lemon: Add soy sauce and lemon juice to the skillet, then simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly, creating a rich, flavorful cream sauce.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, then drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the rested steaks before serving.
Notes
- Allow steaks to rest after cooking to ensure they remain juicy and tender.
- Adjust cooking times for steaks if you prefer doneness levels other than medium-rare.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
- This sauce can also be served over other cuts of steak or grilled chicken.
- Low-sodium beef broth keeps the sauce from becoming too salty.
