Ingredients
Ribeye or sirloin steak (1 to 1.5 pounds)
Fresh garlic (4 cloves, minced)
Unsalted butter (6 tablespoons)
Heavy cream (1 cup)
Fresh parsley or thyme (2 tablespoons, chopped)
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Let the steak come to room temperature for 30 minutes, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until it reaches desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest covered with foil.
In the same skillet, reduce heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Slowly stir in heavy cream and butter until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Return the rested steak to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and allow it to warm through before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the steak in olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
Feel free to substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
