How This Recipe Comes Together

Ingredients

• 4 pieces ribeye steaks (6 oz each)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is foamy, add the steaks to the skillet.
3. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to get a nice sear. Flip the steaks using tongs, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
4. Baste the steaks with the melted butter and garlic using a spoon. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached.
5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and cover them with aluminum foil to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
6. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and pour in the heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the steaks drizzled with the Parmesan cream sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips to Make Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

• For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce while it is simmering.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the steaks. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
• Always let the steaks rest before cutting into them; this helps retain their juices.

Variation

You can customize the sauce by adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach for added texture and flavor. Switching up the herbs (like using thyme instead of parsley) can also give it a unique twist.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of steak for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like sirloin, filet mignon, or even flank steak. Just adjust the cooking time according to the cut.

Is there a non-dairy alternative for the cream and cheese?
Certainly! Coconut milk or cashew cream can be good alternatives, and nutritional yeast can replace Parmesan for a cheesy flavor.

How can I achieve the perfect sear on my steak?
Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the steaks. Avoid moving the steaks around too much in the pan, as this allows for a nice crust to form.
