How this recipe comes together
Making juicy steak with creamy garlic sauce is a breeze once you know the steps. First, you’ll sear your steaks to a perfect medium-rare (or your desired doneness), letting those beautiful crusts develop while retaining the juices inside. Next, you’ll use the same skillet to create a luscious sauce, packed with garlic and cream, adding in just a hint of Dijon mustard for depth. The process is straightforward and makes the most of the flavors building in the pan.
