Directions
- Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance their flavor.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
- Flip the steaks using tongs; add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream, whisking continuously to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom for added flavor.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: For a lighter sauce, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and nutritional yeast.
