Description
A delicious garlic butter steak topped with a rich Parmesan cream sauce, perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick, 8 oz each)
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides. Pat the steaks dry so they get a good sear.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let the butter melt until it bubbles and smells nutty.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Resting keeps the juices where they belong.
- Add the heavy cream to the same skillet, whisking continuously to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- 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.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust the heat if the sauce seems too thick.
- Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with roasted veggies or buttered noodles.
