How to Make Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

Ingredients

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

Serve the Garlic Butter Steak with Parmesan Cream Sauce hot from the skillet. Pair it with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes or pasta to soak up that delicious creamy sauce!

How to Store Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

If you have leftovers, store the steak and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay good for 3-4 days. To reheat, gently warm it in a skillet or microwave until heated through. Be careful not to overcook the steak during reheating.

Tips to Make Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the steak to get a nice sear.
  • Let the steaks rest after cooking; this helps keep them juicy.
  • For even more flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary when cooking the steak.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste.

Variation

You can try this recipe with other cuts of steak like sirloin or filet mignon. Additionally, you can substitute the Parmesan cheese with other cheeses such as Romano or Asiago for a different flavor.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of steak?
Yes! While ribeye is recommended for its tenderness and flavor, you can use any cut of steak you prefer.

2. Can I make the sauce without cream?
You can use half-and-half or milk as a lighter alternative to heavy cream, but the sauce may be less rich.

3. How do I know when the steak is cooked to medium-rare?
The internal temperature of a medium-rare steak is about 135°F (57°C). Using a meat thermometer can help you cook it perfectly every time.
