Ingredients
2 boneless ribeye steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic finely minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup beef broth or dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30–40 minutes before cooking and pat them dry.
2. Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot, add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs.
4. Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
5. Remove steaks from pan, tent with foil, and let them rest for 5–10 minutes.
6. Discard herbs and garlic from skillet, lower heat to medium, and add butter and minced garlic.
7. Sauté for 30 seconds, then deglaze with broth or wine, scraping up browned bits.
8. Stir in heavy cream and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
9. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, and add Parmesan if desired.
10. Spoon sauce over rested steaks, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Choose steaks with good marbling for the best flavor and tenderness.
Allow steak to rest before slicing to retain juices and enhance texture.
For a deeper garlic flavor, roast the garlic before adding to the sauce.
