Description

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


Ingredients

Scale
  • The Juicy Steak & Creamy Base:
  • Two 1.5-inch thick boneless Ribeye or New York Strip Steaks (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or beef broth
  • Aromatic Flavor Builders:
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large shallot, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Essential Seasonings:
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Finishing Touches:
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Season Steak: Pat steaks dry, then generously season with Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This ensures a perfect sear and juicy interior for your Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce.
  2. Sear Steak: Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet over high heat until shimmering. Sear steaks 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness, achieving a beautiful crust. Remove and rest them on a cutting board.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons butter to the same skillet. Sauté finely diced shallot for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until wonderfully fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  4. Build Sauce: Deglaze the pan with dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in low-sodium chicken or beef broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, reducing until the sauce thickens and emulsifies beautifully.
  5. Finish Sauce: Stir in the fresh chopped parsley and finely chopped chives into the creamy garlic sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Slice your perfectly rested steak against the grain, ready to bathe in the rich sauce for an incredible Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce.
  6. Plate & Serve: Arrange the sliced steak on individual plates, generously spooning the warm creamy garlic sauce over top. Garnish with extra chives or parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your restaurant-quality Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce.

Notes

Avoid burning minced garlic when sautéing; cook until wonderfully fragrant for a non-bitter, delicious creamy sauce.

Store leftover steak and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

You can substitute Ribeye or New York Strip with sirloin or flank steak; adjust searing times for desired doneness.

Serve the sliced steak generously spooned with warm sauce, especially with garlic mashed potatoes to capture all flavors.

The creamy garlic sauce can be made 2-3 days ahead and stored separately, perfect for quick weeknight meals.
