Ingredients
Scale:
2 bone-in ribeye steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary (if using).
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side.
Use tongs to carefully flip the steaks and sear for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it reduce for about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the rested steaks against the grain and arrange them on plates. Drizzle generously with the garlic cream sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.
