Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak (1 inch thick)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Allow the ribeye steak to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until a crust forms.
  3. Lower heat slightly; add minced garlic and butter to the skillet, basting the steak for 2 minutes.
  4. Remove the steak and let it rest on a plate. In the same skillet, pour in heavy cream and scrape up browned bits. Stir in grated Parmesan until combined.
  5. Add lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Slice the steak against the grain and return it to the skillet, tossing gently to coat with sauce before serving.
