Ingredients
  

Steak and Seasoning
  • 4 pieces ribeye steaks (About 1-inch thick, 8 oz each)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
Sauce Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with half-and-half or Greek yogurt.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Cooking
  1. Once the butter is bubbling, carefully add the steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.
  2. Using tongs, flip the steaks, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
  3. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Making the Sauce
  1. Lower the heat to medium in the same skillet, add the heavy cream, and whisk to release any flavorful bits from the bottom.
  2. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Serving
  1. Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle the creamy Parmesan sauce on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Letting the steaks rest is crucial for juiciness. For perfect doneness, aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
