Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

💡 Tips
Use room-temperature steak for best sear
Don’t overcook the steak—sirloin stays juicy at medium-rare
Swap cream for half-and-half if you want it lighter
