Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Steaks
  • 4 pieces ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick, 8 oz each) Can substitute with sirloin or filet mignon if ribeye isn't available.
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
Sauce Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Alternative cheeses like pecorino can be used.
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt and bubble.
Cooking
  1. Add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
  2. Turn the steaks over, then add the remaining butter along with the minced garlic. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.
  3. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes.
Sauce Preparation
  1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the heavy cream and whisk to incorporate the browned bits from the pan.
  2. Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serving
  1. Slice the rested steaks, plate them, then generously drizzle with the Parmesan cream sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze cooked steaks (without sauce) for up to three months. Recommended sides include roasted asparagus, light salads, creamy mashed potatoes, or garlic bread.
