Garlic Cream Sauce Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- Sauté Garlic: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add Cream and Simmer: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the garlic and butter. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly and develop flavor.
- Incorporate Parmesan Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese gradually, continuing to simmer and stir the sauce until it thickens to a creamy consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve: Remove from heat and spoon the garlic cream sauce generously over your cooked steak. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melting quality and flavor.
- Adjust the garlic quantity based on your preference for garlic intensity.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it with a small amount of milk or cream.
- This sauce pairs wonderfully with ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon steaks.
- Prepare the sauce while the steak rests to serve hot and fresh.
