- ½ cup low sodium beef broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream or half and half

Instructions
- Pat the steaks dry and season with garlic salt and pepper.
- In a cast iron skillet, heat vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Sear steaks until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and cover.
