Ingredients
  

Steak Preparation
  • 2 pieces Ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick) Choose steaks with good marbling.
  • Salt and black pepper To taste
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For cooking
  • 3 tablespoons Butter, divided Use 1 tablespoon for the skillet and the remainder for the sauce.
Creamy Garlic Sauce
  • 6 cloves Garlic, minced For flavor
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Beef broth To enhance the sauce
  • 1/4 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese For creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish

Method
 

Steak Preparation
  1. Take the steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.
  2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Cooking the Steak
  1. Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
  2. When the pan is hot and the butter is sizzling, carefully lay the steaks down and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  3. Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate and loosely cover with foil to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the pan.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to simmer until thickened.
Combine and Serve
  1. Place your rested steaks back into the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and let them soak up the flavor for a minute.
  2. Plate the steaks, drizzle with extra sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
  3. Serve warm and enjoy.
