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

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 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 flavors.
  2. Heat the Skillet and Butter: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter; wait until melted and bubbling for proper searing.
  3. Sear the Steaks First Side: Add the steaks to the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until a flavorful crust forms on one side.
  4. Flip and Add Garlic Butter: Turn the steaks using tongs, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic, then cook for another 4-5 minutes to achieve medium-rare doneness and infuse garlic flavor.
  5. Rest the Steaks: Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute for a tender bite.
  6. Prepare Parmesan Cream Sauce: Reduce heat to medium, add the heavy cream to the same skillet, and whisk continuously while scraping the browned bits from the bottom to incorporate rich flavors.
  7. Thicken Sauce: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and continue whisking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
  8. Season Sauce: Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors perfectly.
  9. Serve: Slice the rested steaks, plate them, generously drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce on top, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

Notes

  • For perfect medium-rare steaks, use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
  • Letting the steaks rest is essential for juicy results.
  • You can substitute ribeye with other preference steaks like sirloin or filet mignon.
  • The Parmesan cream sauce can be adjusted in thickness by modifying cream quantity or cooking time.
  • Use fresh garlic and fresh Parmesan for the best flavor.
  • This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
