Ingredients

- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic (Minced)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (For garnish)
The rich ingredients ready for a delicious preparation.
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 while you prepare the sauce.
- 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 for added flavor.
- Slice the steaks, plate them attractively, and drizzle the creamy Parmesan sauce over the top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: For a lighter option, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or cashew cream for a dairy-free version.
- Optional Variations: Add a splash of white wine to the skillet after removing the steaks for an added layer of flavor; reduce it before adding cream.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream to bring back the sauce’s creamy consistency.
