Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce
- Prepare the Steak: Bring your chosen steak to room temperature, letting it sit for about 30 minutes. Once warmed, pat the steak dry, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Sear the Steak: Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil, then place the steak into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely seared.
- Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens, then season with salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs.
- Combine and Warm the Steak: Return the rested steak to the skillet, allowing it to bask in the sauce for a couple of minutes.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and cracked black pepper. Enjoy while warm.
