Description

This Garlic Butter Steak with Parmesan Cream Sauce recipe features succulent ribeye steaks cooked to perfection in a buttery garlic skillet, then topped with a rich and creamy Parmesan sauce. The dish is garnished with fresh parsley, making it an elegant and flavorful meal that’s easy to prepare in just 30 minutes.


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

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks: Evenly season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  2. Heat the Skillet and Add Butter: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt and begin bubbling, which will provide a flavorful base for the steaks.
  3. Cook the Steaks on One Side: Add the steaks to the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes to develop a rich, seared crust.
  4. Flip Steaks and Add Garlic and Butter: Using tongs, flip the steaks. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic to the skillet. Continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes to reach medium-rare doneness while infusing garlic flavor.
  5. Rest the Steaks: Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices and maintain tenderness.
  6. Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream to the skillet, whisking continuously to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits from cooking the steaks.
  7. Incorporate Parmesan Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes, forming a creamy and flavorful topping.
  8. Season the Sauce: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors.
  9. Serve: Slice the rested steaks, arrange on plates, drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • Ribeye can be substituted with sirloin, filet mignon, or any steak cut of your preference.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
  • Serve alongside steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
