🌿 Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Steak:

2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter (extra)
¾ cup heavy cream
¼ cup beef broth or chicken broth
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for a tangy touch)
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried thyme
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🔥 Step-by-Step Cooking Method

Step 1: Prep the Steak

Take your steaks out of the fridge about 15 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook evenly. Pat them dry with paper towels — this is key for a good sear. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
