The Secret to Creamy Sauce
The secret to this creamy sauce is the perfect combination of ingredients. Fresh garlic, butter and cream form a creamy and flavorful base that irresistibly coats the steak. For a special touch, add a little grated Parmesan cheese, which makes the sauce even more flavorful and with an incredible texture.
Ingredients:
- 4 steaks of your choice (filet mignon, sirloin, rump)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Chopped parsley for garnish
What each ingredient does:
- Beef: The star of the dish, which is soft and juicy.
- Salt and pepper: They season the meat, enhancing its flavor.
- Butter: It adds flavor and creaminess to the sauce, as well as helping to caramelize the other ingredients.
- Garlic and onion: They give flavor and aroma to the sauce, forming the aromatic base.
- White wine: It adds a touch of acidity and complexity to the sauce, balancing the flavors.
- Milk cream: It makes the sauce creamy and velvety, giving it that irresistible texture.
- Parmesan cheese: It adds flavor and a crunchy texture to the sauce, finishing it off perfectly.
Preparation method:
- Season the steaks: Season the steaks with salt and black pepper to taste, massaging well so that the seasonings penetrate the meat.
- Sear the steaks: Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the steaks for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate covered with foil to keep warm.
- Prepare the sauce: In the same frying pan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic and onion until lightly browned, releasing all their aroma.
- Add the wine: Pour the white wine into the pan and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any caramelized bits. Let the alcohol evaporate for a few seconds.
- Creaminess: Add the cream and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and acquires a creamy consistency.
- Finishing: Remove from heat and add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
- Assembly: Drizzle the steaks with the creamy garlic sauce and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately, accompanied by mashed potatoes, white rice or sautéed vegetables.
