Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Season Steaks: Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to prepare them for cooking.
  2. Heat Skillet and Butter: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let it melt and start bubbling.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Rest Steaks: Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. 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.
  7. Add Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Season Sauce: Taste and season the cream sauce with salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors.
  9. 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.
