Step 1
Pat beef steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it foams. Sear steaks 2 minutes per side without moving — surface should be golden brown.
Step 3
Push steaks to the side. Add garlic cloves and remaining 1 tbsp butter to the pan. Toss garlic until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Pour beef broth into the pan. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook 5 minutes until steaks reach 130°F (medium-rare) on an instant-read thermometer.
Step 5
Stir horseradish sauce into sour cream in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 6
Transfer steaks and roasted garlic to plates. Serve with horseradish cream on the side.
