Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces ribeye steaks (6 oz each) Choose steaks of even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Divided into two parts for cooking and basting.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic for best flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a rich and creamy sauce.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Can use fresh or pre-grated.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Add freshness and color to the dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Cooking Steak
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is foamy, add the steaks to the skillet.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the steaks from the skillet and cover them with aluminum foil to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
Making Sauce
  1. 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.
  2. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Serve the steaks drizzled with the Parmesan cream sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce while it is simmering. Always let steaks rest before cutting into them; this helps retain their juices. If you have leftovers, store the steak and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
