Directions
- Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and start bubbling.
- Once the butter is bubbling, add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice sear.
- Flip the steaks using tongs; add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your preferred doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the heavy cream, 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 and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed for balance.
- Slice the steaks, plate them beautifully, and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: You can replace the ribeye steaks with sirloin or filet mignon for a different cut of meat. Heavy cream can be swapped with half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
- Optional variations: For a zingy twist, add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to the sauce, or incorporate sautéed mushrooms for added depth.
- Storage or reheating tips: Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, and consider adding a splash of cream to the sauce to refresh its consistency.
