Remove steaks, cover loosely with foil, and rest while making the sauce.

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add 1 tbsp butter.
-
Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Stir in Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard. Simmer until the sauce thickens (about 3–5 minutes).

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve
-
Slice the rested steaks and serve with the creamy garlic sauce spooned on top.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley.
