Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye or sirloin steaks Choose according to preference.
- Salt and pepper to taste Essential for bringing out flavors.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Prevents sticking and adds crispiness.
- 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic adds sharpness.
- 1 cup heavy cream For luxurious creaminess.
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated for best flavor.
- to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Enhances visual appeal.
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting to your desired doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest to allow the juices to redistribute.
Cooking
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté minced garlic for about one minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently, and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce.
Serving
- Slice the steaks against the grain, plate them, and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a lighter sauce, consider using half-and-half. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for a month. Reheat slowly on the stove or in the oven.
