Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1.5 inches thick boneless ribeye or New York strip steak
- Unsalted Butter
- Fresh Garlic, minced
- Fresh Rosemary Sprigs
- Fresh Thyme Sprigs
- Heavy Cream
- Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Garlic, minced
- Chicken or Beef Broth
- Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Remove your steaks from the refrigerator about 30-60 minutes before cooking to bring them closer to room temperature. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels and season generously on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Sear the Steaks: Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until it’s smoking lightly. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan. Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the skillet. Sear for 2-4 minutes per side until a beautiful, deep brown crust forms.
- Garlic Butter Baste: Once both sides are seared, reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs to the pan. Once the butter is melted and fragrant, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the melted garlic herb butter over the steaks for another 2-4 minutes.
- Rest the Steaks: Transfer the cooked steaks to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let them rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
- Prepare the Parmesan Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Build the Sauce: Pour in the chicken or beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a minute to reduce slightly. Then, slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Add Parmesan: Gradually whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it’s completely melted and incorporated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve: Slice the rested steaks against the grain. Arrange the slices on plates and generously spoon the warm Parmesan cream sauce over the top.
