Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb bavette steak
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup barley tea
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Remove the bavette steak from the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4–5 minutes per side until medium-rare (130°F/54°C). Let rest for 5–10 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
  4. Pour in barley tea, scraping the skillet's bottom for flavor bits. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add heavy cream and simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Slice rested steak against the grain and drizzle with sauce before serving.
