Steak
- 4 pieces ribeye steaks (About 1-inch thick, 8 oz each)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Season Steaks: Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to prepare them for cooking.
- Heat Skillet and Butter: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let it melt and start bubbling.
- Cook First Side: Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to ensure a good sear.
- Flip and Add Garlic Butter: Flip the steaks using tongs, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic to the skillet, and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness, spooning the garlic butter over the steaks occasionally.
- Rest Steaks: Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Make Sauce: Lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream to the same skillet, whisking continuously to scrape up browned bits left from the steak for extra flavor.
- Add Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season Sauce: Taste and season the cream sauce with salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors.
- Serve: Slice the rested steaks, plate them, drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Letting the steak rest after cooking ensures a juicy, tender bite.
- Adjust cooking times depending on desired steak doneness.
- You can substitute ribeye with other favorite steak cuts like sirloin or New York strip.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and smooth sauce texture.
- If sauce becomes too thick, thin it with a splash of milk or cream.
