Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Bavette steak (about 1 lb)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup barley tea
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Remove the Bavette steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Pat dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add butter, then sauté minced garlic until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
  4. Pour in barley tea while scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and simmer until thickened (approximately 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Serve sliced steak drizzled with the creamy sauce.
