Instructions

  1. Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides. Pat the steaks dry so they get a good sear.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let the butter melt until it bubbles and smells nutty.
  3. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Do not move them around unless you want a sad, soft crust.
  4. Flip the steaks using tongs, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Spoon butter over the steaks while they cook.
  5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Resting keeps the juices where they belong.
  6. Add the heavy cream to the same skillet, whisking continuously to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  7. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and whisk until the sauce is thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Keep stirring so it does not clump.
  8. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust the heat if the sauce seems too thick.
  9. Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.
