Step 3: Making the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- Melt butter – In the same skillet used for the steaks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Cook the garlic – Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
- Add liquids – Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
- Incorporate cheese – Add Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season – Taste and adjust with salt and black pepper. The sauce should be rich, garlicky, and creamy.
Step 4: Serving the Dish
- Slice the rested steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Pour the creamy garlic sauce generously over the steak.
- Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides—mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad complement the dish beautifully.
Tips for the Perfect Juicy Steak
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best sear and even heat distribution.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.
- Rest the steak to retain juices. Cutting it too soon will cause it to dry out.
- Adjust garlic sauce consistency by simmering longer for thicker sauce or adding a splash more cream for a thinner pour.
