- 4 pieces ribeye steaks (About 1-inch thick, 8 oz each.)
- To taste salt
- To taste pepper
- 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:
- Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides.

- 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.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- 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.

- 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 your Garlic Butter Steak on a warm plate to keep it nice and cozy. Pair it with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. The creamy Parmesan sauce also goes wonderfully with a fresh green salad. Don’t forget to have some crusty bread on hand to soak up the delicious sauce!
How to Store Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce

Tips to Make Garlic Butter Steak With Parmesan Cream Sauce
- Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of your steak. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Let the steak rest after cooking. This helps keep it juicy.
- Feel free to use a different cut of steak if you prefer, like sirloin or flank steak.
- Don’t rush the sauce! Whisking continuously helps achieve a creamy, smooth texture.
