Ingredients

  • 4 beef steaks (sirloin or ribeye, about 200 g each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1/4 cup beef or chicken stock (60 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Let steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare or adjust to desired doneness. Remove and rest.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and stock, scraping the pan. Stir in Dijon, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  6. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened.
  7. Return steaks to skillet and spoon sauce over them. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to warm through.
  8. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 57°C for medium-rare, 63°C for medium.
  • Add mushrooms or a squeeze of lemon juice to elevate the sauce.
  • Use plant-based cream and butter for a dairy-free version, noting flavor changes.
  • Let steaks rest after searing to keep them juicy.
  • Reheat gently over low heat to prevent sauce separation.
