How to Make Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Ingredients:

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Directions:

Prepare the Steak:

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness.
Add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary/thyme to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks as they cook.
Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-7 minutes.

Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.

Assemble and Serve:

Slice the steaks against the grain and serve them topped with the creamy garlic sauce.
Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.

How to Serve Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Serve your Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce hot off the skillet. The creamy sauce adds a rich character to the dish, and it works well with sides like mashed potatoes, garlic bread, or a fresh garden salad. Make sure to have extra sauce on the side for those who love more flavor!

How to Store Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce

If you have leftovers, let the steak cool down to room temperature before storing. Keep the steak and sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 2-3 days. To reheat, warm the steak in a skillet over low heat and gently warm the sauce as well.
