  • Method: Pan-Seared
  • Cuisine: American / Steakhouse
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

  • 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, filet mignon, or preferred cut)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side (or to preferred doneness).
  3. Transfer steak to a plate and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Add heavy cream and stir in Parmesan cheese. Let simmer until the sauce thickens (2–3 minutes).
  6. Return the steak to the pan to warm through and coat with the sauce.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • Resting the steak for 5 minutes helps retain its juices.
  • Add mushrooms, caramelized onions, or red pepper flakes for variations.
  • A splash of white wine can deepen the sauce flavor.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
