Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Remove the bavette steak from the fridge 20 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. 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 on each side for medium-rare (130°F internal temperature).
  3. Let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add butter, and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the barley tea and simmer for 2–3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and let it thicken for about 5 minutes; adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Serve the sliced steak drizzled with the creamy sauce.
