How to Make Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 pieces ribeye steaks (About 1-inch thick, 8 oz each)
• To taste salt
• To taste 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)

Directions

1. Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
3. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
4. Flip the steaks using tongs, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
6. 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.
7. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and whisk until the sauce is thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
8. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.

How to Serve Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

This dish is best served hot, straight from the skillet. Pair it with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. A glass of red wine can also complement the flavors beautifully.

How to Store Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

To store any leftovers, place the steak and sauce in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to preserve the sauce’s creaminess.

Tips to Make Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

• Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the steaks; 130°F is medium-rare.

• Feel free to add more garlic or herbs to the sauce for extra flavor.

Variation

You can use different cuts of steak if ribeye isn’t available, such as sirloin or filet mignon. For a bit of spice, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the cream sauce.
