Bistec con salsa de crema y ajo is a savory dish that combines the richness of cream with the bold flavor of garlic, creating a delectable sauce that perfectly complements a juicy steak. This recipe is a staple in many Latin American households, known for its comforting flavors and straightforward preparation.

Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.​

  2. Sear the Steaks: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.​

  3. Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.​

    • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer.​

    • Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.​elcomensal.es+7gastronomiaycia.com+7recetassabrosas.com+7
