Directions:

Start by seasoning your ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides. Don’t be shy; give them a good rub!
Now, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in 2 tablespoons of butter. Let that melt and get bubbly.
Once the butter is sizzling, add the steaks to the skillet. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
Flip the steaks using tongs, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for that perfect medium-rare.
After that, remove the steaks and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps keep them juicy.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream. Whisk continuously to scrape up any tasty browned bits from the bottom.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and keep whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste the sauce, and season with a little more salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle that creamy Parmesan sauce over the top. Finish it off with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for color.

Can I use a different cut of steak?
Absolutely! While ribeye is delicious, you can use sirloin or filet mignon if you prefer. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness.

Can I make the sauce in advance?
You can prepare the sauce ahead of time! Just store it in the fridge and reheat it gently before drizzling over the steak.

What’s the best way to know my steak is done?
Using a meat thermometer is the safest bet. For medium-rare, look for 130°F. But if you like it more done, aim higher!
