Ingredients

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (1–1½ inches thick)

  • 1½ tsp sea salt (or to taste)

  • 1 tsp black pepper (optional)

  • 1 tbsp beef tallow, butter, or high-heat oil

For the Garlic Cream Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup beef broth (optional, for thinner sauce)

  • ½ tsp salt (to taste)

  • ½ tsp black pepper (optional)

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for thicker sauce)

Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks
    Pat steaks dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.

  2. Sear the Steaks
    Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add tallow or butter. Sear steaks 2–3 minutes per side until a deep crust forms.
    Lower heat and cook to desired doneness:

    • Rare: 120–125°F (49–52°C)

    • Medium-rare: 130–135°F (54–57°C)

    • Medium: 135–145°F (57–63°C)
      Remove steaks and let rest, tented with foil.

  3. Make the Sauce
    In the same pan, lower heat to medium. Add butter and garlic. Sauté 30–60 seconds until fragrant (do not brown).
    Pour in heavy cream and broth. Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. Finish the Sauce
    Stir in Parmesan (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Serve
    Spoon the garlic cream sauce over rested steaks and serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with soft-scrambled eggs or bone marrow

Variations
