Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Combine and Warm the Steak: Return the rested steak to the skillet, allowing it to bask in the sauce for a couple of minutes.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and cracked black pepper. Enjoy while warm.
