Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 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
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- 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
- Prepare the Steak: 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.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: 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.
- Assemble and Serve: 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.
