How to Make Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce
1. Prepare the Steak
Pat steaks dry with paper towels (helps create a better crust).
Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Sear the Steak
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare).
Reduce heat to low, add butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan.
Spoon the melted butter over the steak for 1 minute (basting for extra juiciness).
Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
Stir in broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard.
Simmer until sauce thickens (3-5 minutes), then season with salt & black pepper.
4. Serve & Enjoy!
Place the rested steaks on a plate.
Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the steak.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or roasted veggies.
