2 ribeye steaks (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup low-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steaks and cook about 4–5 minutes per side for medium‑rare. Remove from the pan and let them rest.
In the same skillet (don’t clean it—those flavorful browned bits are gold), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, stirring to combine. Let the mixture bubble gently.
Stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice, simmering for about 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in chopped parsley for freshness and color.
Slice or serve the rested steaks and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce on top.
