Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat Olive Oil and Sauté Garlic: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, careful not to burn it.
- Add Beef Broth and Simmer: Pour in beef broth, stir to combine, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly and deepen the flavor.
- Add Heavy Cream: Reduce heat to low and slowly stir in heavy cream, mixing continuously until fully incorporated for a smooth texture.
- Incorporate Mustard and Worcestershire Sauce: Add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce to the sauce, stirring well. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to your preferred consistency.
- Season and Adjust Consistency: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of beef broth or cream to loosen it.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the sauce from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken further.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the warm garlic cream sauce over cooked steak and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Do not overcook garlic as it can become bitter; sauté until just golden.
- Use full-fat heavy cream for the best rich and creamy texture.
- Adjust seasoning gradually to balance the sauce according to your taste.
- If sauce thickens too much after cooling, gently reheat and stir in a splash of beef broth or cream.
- Fresh parsley adds a fresh, vibrant finish to the sauce and enhances its appearance.
