Salt & black pepper (generous)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tbsp butter

2 cloves garlic (smashed)

Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak:
-
Take steaks out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking.

Pat dry with paper towels.

Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Steak:
-
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

Add steaks and sear for about 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare).

Add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs during the last 2 minutes. Baste with melted butter.
-
Remove steaks, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5–10 minutes.
3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

In the same pan (reduce heat to medium), add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Pour in the cream and stir well, scraping up browned bits from the steak.
-
Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.

Stir in Parmesan cheese, and let it melt into the sauce.

Season with salt, pepper, and optional Dijon mustard or chili flakes.
-
Simmer until thickened slightly (another 1–2 minutes).
4. Serve:

Slice the rested steak.
-
Spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the steak or serve on the side.
