Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce
Enjoy a tender ribeye steak drizzled with a rich garlic butter and Parmesan cream sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 pieces ribeye steaks (About 1-inch thick, 8 oz each) Can substitute with sirloin or filet mignon.
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, carefully add the steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
- Using tongs, flip the steaks and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Sauce Preparation
- Lower the heat to medium, then add heavy cream to the same skillet. Whisk continuously to incorporate the browned bits from the bottom.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens, roughly 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Plating
- Slice the rested steaks, plate them, and generously drizzle the creamy Parmesan sauce over the top.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Notes
For the perfect steak, ensure the meat is at room temperature before seasoning. Let your steak rest after cooking to redistribute the juices. For extra flavor, consider adding roasted garlic to the sauce or a splash of white wine.
