  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup barley tea
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  5. Pour in barley tea and scrape any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
