Ingredients
Scale
2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness.
Add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary/thyme to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks as they cook.
Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-7 minutes.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve them topped with the creamy garlic sauce. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.
Notes
Allow the steaks to rest after cooking to ensure juiciness.
For a spicier sauce, consider adding red pepper flakes.
Be sure not to overcook the steak for optimal tenderness.
