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
- Season the Steaks: Evenly season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Rest the Steaks: Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices and maintain tenderness.
- 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.
- Incorporate Parmesan Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes, forming a creamy and flavorful topping.
- Season the Sauce: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors.
- 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.
