Instructions

Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
Season the bavette steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
For the garlic sauce, in the same skillet, add butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh thyme, parsley, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Slice the bavette steak against the grain and drizzle with the garlic sauce. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

Bavette steak is also known as flank steak or skirt steak, and it has a rich flavor. If you prefer a different cut, flank steak or sirloin would work well too.
You can adjust the thickness of the sauce by simmering it longer or adding more cream.
Serve this steak with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
