Tender Steak in Creamy Garlic Sauce
Step 1: Prep Your Steaks
- Remove steaks from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Sear to Perfection
- Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat.
- Add olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter. Once hot and sizzling, carefully add the steaks.
- Cook 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness.
- Transfer steaks to a plate.
Step 3: Rest the Steaks
- Loosely cover with foil and let rest 5–10 minutes while you make the sauce.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
