Description
Prepare a flavorful and juicy steak with a simple garlic sauce quickly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
- Stir in the butter and thyme until the butter melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain.
- Spoon the garlic sauce over the sliced steak before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use unsalted butter.
- You can substitute fresh parsley for thyme if you prefer.
