Prepare the Steak

Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.

Pat it dry and season both sides with salt (and pepper if using).

Heat the Pan

Place a heavy pan on medium-high heat.

Let it heat well before adding oil.

Cook the Steak

Add oil to the hot pan.

Place the steak in gently and do not move it.

Cook for 2–3 minutes, then flip once.

Add butter and spoon it over the steak.

Cook another 2–3 minutes or until done to your liking.

Rest the Steak

Remove the steak from the pan.

Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

This keeps it juicy.

Make the Sauce

Lower the heat to medium.

Add butter to the same pan.

Add garlic and cook for 10 seconds (do not brown).

Pour in the cream and stir gently.

Let it simmer until slightly thick.

Season with salt and pepper.

Serve

Slice the steak against the grain.

Pour the warm sauce over the steak and serve immediately.
