Cook the Steak:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season steak with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

Make the Golden Cheese Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt butter.

Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Whisk in flour to make a roux, cooking for 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in milk and beef broth.

Stir in cheddar, Dijon, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
