  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Creamy Garlic Sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it shimmer.
  3. Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adding butter and spooning over steaks. Remove and rest.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add beef broth and scrape browned bits from the pan.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened.
  7. Add lemon juice and parsley, stir, and pour sauce over steak. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use a cast iron skillet and let the steak rest before slicing.
