Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the steak:
- 2 bavette steaks (about 1 lb total)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the garlic sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for a creamier sauce)
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.
