Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ribeye steaks Other cuts of steak like sirloin or filet mignon can be used.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Generous seasoning enhances flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Used for searing the steaks.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Sautéed for flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Base of the creamy sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Adds richness to the sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped For garnish and added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Cooking
  1. Add the steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time if you prefer a different doneness.
  2. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Dijon mustard, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly—about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chopped parsley, combining it well with the sauce for freshness.
  6. Pour the creamy garlic sauce over your rested steaks, ensuring every bite is covered! Serve immediately.

Notes

Resting the steak is crucial; it allows the juices to redistribute. Common mistakes to avoid include overcrowding the skillet and cooking at too high a heat.
