- Served with steamed or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
- With garlic bread to soak up that irresistible sauce.
- Tossed with rice or quinoa for a simple, satisfying meal.
Additional Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the steak in olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Don’t overcook the steak! Aim for medium-rare to medium for the juiciest bites.

- Make it spicy by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for the best texture—pre-grated cheese won’t melt as smoothly.
FAQ’s
1. Can I use a different cut of steak?
Yes! Sirloin, ribeye, filet mignon, or even New York strip work great.
2. How do I store leftovers?
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
3. Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, but the steak is best served fresh. You can prepare the sauce ahead and reheat it when ready to serve.
4. What can I use instead of heavy cream?
Half-and-half or full-fat coconut milk can be used, but the sauce won’t be as thick.
5. Can I add mushrooms?
Absolutely! Sauté sliced mushrooms with the garlic for extra flavor.
6. What’s the best way to reheat this dish?
Reheat on low in a pan with a splash of broth or cream to keep the sauce from drying out.
7. Can I use chicken instead of steak?
Yes! Chicken breast or thighs work well with this sauce.
8. Is this keto-friendly?
Yes! Serve it with cauliflower rice or roasted veggies for a keto meal.
9. Can I freeze the sauce?
Cream-based sauces don’t freeze well, as they tend to separate when thawed. It’s best to make it fresh.
10. Can I add wine to the sauce?
Yes! A splash of white wine instead of beef broth can add a delicious depth of flavor.
