Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 2 Ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon steaks (6–8 oz each)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced

Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Garnishes (optional)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (or thyme, chives)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Steak: Bring the steak to room temperature by letting it sit outside the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
  2. Searing the Steak: Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron or stainless steel) over medium-high heat. Add the unsalted butter and minced garlic, then sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness; adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
  3. Making the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Remove the steak from the pan and keep warm. In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
  4. Combining Flavors: Return the steak to the pan and spoon the creamy parmesan sauce over the top. Let the steak nestle in the sauce for about a minute to let the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Garnishing and Serving: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or your herb of choice on top for a vibrant, fresh touch before plating. Serve immediately with your preferred side dishes.

Notes

  • Choose steaks with good marbling for maximum juiciness and flavor.
  • Allow steak to rest outside the fridge for 30 minutes for more even cooking.
  • Use medium-high heat to sear quickly without overcooking the interior.
  • Freshly grate Parmesan cheese for better melting and richer taste.
  • Use a heavy skillet like cast iron or stainless steel for the best sear.
  • Rest cooked steak for 5 minutes to retain juices and tenderness before serving.
