Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 2 well-marbled ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves, smashed

Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garnish (Optional)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season the Steak: Pat your steaks dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. This step is critical for creating a flavorful crust once seared.
  2. Sear the Steak in Garlic Butter: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter along with smashed garlic cloves. Add the steak and sear each side for 3–4 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness. Baste the steak with the garlic butter during cooking to infuse incredible flavor and keep it juicy.
  3. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and moist.
  4. Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Using the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add the heavy cream and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes smooth. Scrape up any browned bits left from the steak to add depth of flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Plate the steak and spoon the creamy parmesan sauce generously over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • Choose well-marbled cuts like ribeye to maximize flavor and tenderness.
  • Resting the steak is essential to maintain juicy, tender bites and avoid dried edges.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for best melting properties and flavor.
  • Adjust cream quantity and simmer time to control the sauce thickness.
  • Add garlic at the proper time and lower heat to avoid burning and bitterness.
