Steak with Garlic Cream Sauce (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Steak

01 - 2 ribeye steaks
02 - Salt, to taste
03 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Garlic Cream Sauce

05 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 60 ml apple cider vinegar combined with 60 ml apple juice
07 - 240 ml heavy cream
08 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (wine-free)
09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 - 25 grams grated Parmesan cheese (made with microbial rennet)

→ Garnish

11 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Pat ribeye steaks dry and season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting timing for desired doneness. Transfer steaks to a plate and allow to rest.
03 - In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic.
04 - Add apple cider vinegar and apple juice mixture, deglazing the pan by scraping up any caramelized remnants. Allow to simmer for 2 minutes to reduce.
05 - Incorporate heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and butter, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
06 - Remove skillet from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and sauce is smooth.
07 - Slice rested steaks, arrange on serving plates, and generously ladle garlic cream sauce over each. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - The apple cider vinegar and apple juice combination infuses the sauce with a balanced tangy sweetness that complements the richness of the cream and Parmesan.
02 - Allow steaks to rest after searing for ensured juiciness.
