Ingredients
Scale
- 4 beef steaks (ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup beef or chicken stock

- Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
