This Juicy Steak with Creamy Garlic Sauce features tender, perfectly seared steaks topped with a velvety garlic sauce infused with Dijon mustard and fresh herbs. An indulgent yet simple dish perfect for any special occasion or weeknight meal.

Ingredients

4 beef steaks (sirloin or ribeye)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

Salt and black pepper to taste

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup heavy cream

¼ cup beef or chicken stock

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Steaks: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks and set aside to rest.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and stock. Stir in Dijon mustard, thyme, and salt & pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  3. Finish the Steaks: Return the steaks to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Warm for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Serve: Plate the steaks and top with the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Steak options: Ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon work best. Adjust cooking times based on the thickness.

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Herb variations: Swap thyme for rosemary or oregano.

Lighter sauce: Use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce.

For a more earthy flavor, add sliced mushrooms to the sauce.
