- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup beef or chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper.
- Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or cook to your preferred doneness. Remove and let rest.
- In the same skillet, sauté garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Lower heat, then add cream and stock. Stir in Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return steaks to skillet, spoon sauce over them, and warm for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve steaks topped with sauce, garnished with parsley.
Notes
- Adjust sauce thickness by simmering longer or adding a cornstarch slurry.
