A rich and flavorful garlic butter ribeye steak cooked to perfection and topped with a creamy Parmesan sauce, garnished with fresh parsley for an elegant and comforting meal that comes together in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 4 pieces ribeye steaks (About 1-inch thick, 8 oz each)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks: Evenly season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the seasoning enhances the natural flavor of the meat.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and start bubbling, which prepares the pan for searing.
  3. Sear the Steaks: Add the ribeye steaks to the skillet and cook without moving them for about 4-5 minutes to develop a nice crust on one side.
  4. Flip and Add Garlic Butter: Using tongs, flip the steaks to the other side, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic to the skillet, and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes to achieve medium-rare doneness while infusing garlic flavor.
  5. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board or plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy result.
  6. Prepare the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and pour the heavy cream into the same skillet, whisking continuously to lift any flavorful browned bits from the bottom.
  7. Incorporate Parmesan: Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and whisk until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes, forming a rich and creamy consistency.
  8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors perfectly.
  9. Serve: Slice the rested steaks, plate them, drizzle generously with the Parmesan cream sauce, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a beautiful presentation and added freshness.

Notes

  • For best results, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to get a superior sear on the steaks.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly if your steaks are thicker or thinner to achieve your preferred level of doneness.
  • Letting the steaks rest after cooking is crucial to maintain juiciness.
  • You can substitute ribeye with other steak cuts like New York strip or sirloin based on preference or availability.
  • This sauce pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh side salad.
