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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
