Description
A rich and indulgent Garlic Butter Steak topped with a luxurious Parmesan cream sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick, 8 oz each)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the ribeyes dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Place a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let melt until foaming.
- Add the steaks to the hot skillet without crowding. Cook undisturbed for about 4–5 minutes.
- Flip the steaks using tongs, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic, spooning over the steaks as they finish—cook another 4–5 minutes for medium-rare.
- Remove steaks from the pan a few degrees below target doneness and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Lower skillet heat to medium, add heavy cream, and whisk to scrape up browned bits. Whisk until warm.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Slice the rested steaks against the grain, arrange on plates, and spoon the Parmesan cream sauce over top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
For a dairy-free sauce: replace butter with olive oil and use a dairy-free cream substitute.
