Description

How to make perfectly pan-seared juicy steak with a rich, creamy garlic sauce that will impress your guests and become a new favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • The Foundation of Flavor:
  • 2 lbs (about 2 steaks) Ribeye or Sirloin Steaks, 1.5 inches thick, room temperature
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream (full-fat, not half-and-half)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup chicken or beef broth
  • Aromatic Enhancers:
  • 8–10 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Essential Seasonings:
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • Fresh Finish:
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prep Steaks: Season steaks generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Ensure they’re at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking, promoting even doneness and a truly juicy steak. This prep is key!
  2. Sear Steaks: Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until shimmering. Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side until a beautiful, deep brown crust forms. This caramelizes the exterior perfectly.
  3. Baste Steaks: Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter, fresh thyme, and rosemary. Tilt the pan and baste steaks for 2-3 minutes, until desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare). Rest them for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Sauté Garlic: In the same pan, reduce heat to medium-low. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. This creates the aromatic foundation for your creamy garlic sauce.
  5. Simmer Sauce: Pour in the chicken or beef broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce thickens beautifully for your Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce.
  6. Finish Sauce: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley. Taste the creamy garlic sauce and adjust seasonings as needed. The brightness cuts through the richness, balancing flavors.
  7. Serve Steak: Slice the rested steak against the grain. Generously spoon the finished creamy garlic sauce over each slice. Garnish with more fresh parsley for an Indulgent Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

Always rest cooked steaks for 5-10 minutes after searing; this ensures juicy, tender results and prevents dryness.

Store leftover steak and creamy garlic sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

For best results, do not substitute full-fat heavy cream; lighter creams will not thicken the sauce properly.

Serve this magnificent steak warm, sliced against the grain, with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus.

Mince garlic and chop fresh parsley a day ahead to streamline your cooking process on the day of serving.
