Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steaks:
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Cook the Steaks:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the steaks and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness and preferred doneness). Remove steaks from the pan and set aside to rest.
3. Make the Garlic Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4. Add Cream and Broth:
Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth (if using). Stir to combine and let it simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Finish the Sauce:
Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed.
6. Serve:
Return the steaks to the pan briefly to coat them in the sauce, or serve the sauce spooned generously over the steaks. Garnish with fresh parsley.
