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
- Season Steaks: Season both sides of the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the meat.
- Heat Skillet and Melt Butter: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and bubble.
- Sear First Side: Add the steaks to the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a flavorful crust.
- Flip and Add Garlic Butter: Using tongs, flip the steaks, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steaks with the garlic butter.
- Rest Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute for optimal tenderness.
- Prepare Parmesan Sauce: Lower the skillet heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to deglaze the pan and lift the browned bits.
- Thicken Sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes, resulting in a rich and creamy consistency.
- Season Sauce: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavor.
- Serve: Slice the rested steaks, plate them, then drizzle generously with the Parmesan cream sauce and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a bright finish.
Notes
- For a different doneness, adjust cooking times accordingly.
- Use a cast iron skillet for best searing results.
- Allowing steaks to rest is crucial for juicy results.
- The sauce can be made with cream alternatives if preferred, but the texture will vary.
- Freshly grated Parmesan is recommended for better melting and flavor.
