Season the steaks: Pat steaks dry. Rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
Sear the steaks: Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat. Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside to rest.
Make the sauce: In the same pan, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in broth and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Lower heat, add cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens (about 3–5 minutes).
Combine: Return steaks to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer 1–2 minutes to absorb flavor.
Serve: Plate the steaks with plenty of creamy garlic sauce on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
✨ Serving ideas: Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or buttery garlic bread for a complete meal.
Would you like me to also give you a sheet-pan version (where steak and sides cook together with the garlic cream sauce in the oven) for an even easier weeknight dinner?
