Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
Fats and Seasonings:
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Sauce Ingredients:
- 5 cloves garlic (2 smashed, 3 minced)
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the protein by extracting them from refrigeration approximately half an hour before culinary preparation, allowing temperature equilibration. Meticulously eliminate surface moisture using absorbent materials and apply robust seasoning across both exterior surfaces.
- Activate a robust cooking vessel over vigorous thermal settings. Introduce culinary lubricant and allow molecular heating until surface shimmers dramatically. Carefully position protein segments, creating immediate caramelized exterior through precise searing techniques.
- Incorporate aromatic butter and crushed garlic clusters during protein transformation, continuously bathing meat with rich lipid cascades. Monitor internal temperature carefully, ensuring optimal doneness through strategic timing.
- Transfer protein to resting platform, draping loosely with thermal protective layer. Allow muscular fibers to redistribute internal moisture for maximum tenderness during brief recuperation interval.
- Utilize residual pan essence for sauce development. Reduce thermal intensity and introduce additional butter, gently sweating minced garlic until fragrant releasing complex aromatics.
- Integrate dairy components, creating luxurious emulsion. Whisk continuously while incorporating complementary flavor enhancers like Parmesan, mustard, and herbal seasonings. Reduce until sauce achieves elegant, velvety consistency.
- Plate protein centerpiece, cascading creamy garlic elixir across surface. Embellish with verdant herb confetti, presenting immediately for peak gustatory experience.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, well-marbled steaks like ribeye or New York strip for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Pat steaks completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect sear and develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Let steaks rest at room temperature before cooking to guarantee even cooking and prevent tough meat.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for exceptional heat retention and superior browning of the steak’s surface.
- Baste steaks with butter and garlic during cooking to infuse extra richness and depth of flavor.
- Monitor cooking time closely to achieve desired doneness without overcooking the meat.
- Create a consistent sauce by stirring frequently and using low-medium heat to prevent separation.
- Low-carb and keto-friendly option by skipping any potential starch-based thickeners in the sauce.
- Dairy-free alternative possible by substituting heavy cream with coconut cream and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added to the sauce for additional aromatic complexity.
- Leftover sauce works wonderfully as a dip for roasted vegetables or as a pasta coating.
