  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 5 minutes 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 steaks of your choice (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

    1. Season your steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

    2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well-done. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.

    3. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

    4. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard (if using). Stir well and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

    5. Place the steaks back in the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Let the steaks warm in the sauce for a minute before serving.

    6. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to use any cut of steak you like, but ribeye and filet mignon work particularly well for this recipe.

  • For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though the sauce will be slightly thinner.

  • If you love garlic, add extra minced garlic to the sauce for more of that delicious flavor.

  • For added depth, you can throw in a few sliced mushrooms while simmering the sauce.
