Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook the steaks in the hot skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare) or longer to your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the beef broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Cook the sauce for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them heat through for 2 minutes.
- Serve the steaks with the creamy garlic sauce, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of white wine to the skillet before adding the cream.
- Use any cut of steak you prefer, though ribeye provides the best flavor and tenderness for this recipe.
- This dish pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
