How to Make Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
- 2 steaks (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream, beef broth, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the steaks to the skillet, coating them with the garlic cream sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
- Serve the steaks drizzled with the garlic cream sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
How to Serve Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce

Tips to Make Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce
