Directions
- Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and whisk until the sauce is thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can use sirloin or filet mignon instead of ribeye for a leaner cut of meat. For a non-dairy alternative, try cashew cream or coconut cream in place of heavy cream.
- Optional Variations: Consider adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the cream sauce for added flavor and nutrition. A splash of white wine can also enhance the sauce’s richness.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of cream to maintain the sauce’s consistency.
