Ingredients

For the Steak:

2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken or beef broth
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

Prep the Steaks:
Pat your steaks dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Sear the Steaks:
Heat a skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for about 3–4 minutes per side (depending on thickness and desired doneness). Remove steaks and let them rest on a plate covered loosely with foil.
Make the Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt butter.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and broth, stirring well to combine.
- Add Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until thickened.
Combine & Serve:
Return the steaks to the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Let them warm through for 2 minutes.
Garnish & Enjoy:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crusty loaf of bread.
