Directions:
1. Prepare the Steak:

- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for a few minutes, reducing slightly.
- Lower the heat, add the heavy cream, and stir. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Prepare the Broccoli:
- Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Assemble the Plate:
- Serve each steak topped with creamy mushroom sauce.
- Add a side of mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
- Garnish with fresh parsley on top of the mushroom sauce for extra flavor.
