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 the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance their natural flavor.
- Prepare Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and bubble.
- Cook First Side: Place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes to develop a seared crust.
- Flip and Add Flavor: Flip the steaks using tongs, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness, basting occasionally with butter and garlic.
- Rest Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Make Sauce: Lower the skillet heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to deglaze and lift any flavorful browned bits from the bottom.
- Add Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season Sauce: Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if needed to balance flavors.
- Serve: Slice the rested steaks, plate them, and generously drizzle the creamy Parmesan sauce on top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For medium doneness, cook steaks an additional 1-2 minutes per side.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and smoother sauce.
- Letting steaks rest is crucial for juicy results.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- Adjust garlic quantity to suit your taste preference.
