Main Ingredients

4 pieces steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut) Choose a good-quality cut for best flavor.
2 tbsp olive oil Extra virgin olive oil is recommended.
4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh cloves work best, but jarred can be used in a pinch.
1 cup heavy cream Organic heavy cream is preferred.
1/2 cup beef broth Homemade is excellent; low-sodium store-bought works, too.
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Freshly grated for best flavor.
1 tsp black pepper Use freshly cracked for enhanced spice.
1/2 tsp salt Adjust according to taste.
to taste Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Preparation

Bring steaks to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat a large skillet and heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cooking

Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add beef broth and scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, whisking until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
Return the steaks to the skillet, spoon the garlic cream sauce over them, and rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Serving

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with side dishes like mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus.
