Ingredients

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

• 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)

Gather all your ingredients to prepare this delicious steak dish.

Directions

1. Season the Steaks: Generously season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides, ensuring they are well-flavored.

2. Heat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.

3. Cook the Steaks: Once the butter is hot, carefully add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, allowing a golden crust to form.

4. Flip and Add Flavor: Using tongs, flip the steaks over. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

5. Let the Steaks Rest: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes. This helps retain their juices.

6. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the heavy cream, whisking continuously to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom; this adds flavor!

7. Thicken the Sauce: Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.

8. Serve: Slice the steaks, plate them, and generously drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: If ribeye steaks are not available, flank or sirloin steaks can work as alternatives. For a dairy-free option, consider using coconut cream instead of heavy cream and nutritional yeast in place of Parmesan.

• Optional Variations: For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. You can also incorporate sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the dish for added flavor and nutrition.

• Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftover steak and sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream if the sauce thickens too much.
