Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1: Pat the steaks completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes
- Step 2: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 2-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer as desired
- Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-low, add unsalted butter, minced garlic, and rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the garlic butter for 1-2 minutes
- Step 4: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes
- Step 5: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat, add 2 cloves of minced garlic, saute for 30 seconds, then add heavy cream and broth. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally
- Step 6: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste
- Step 7: Slice the rested steaks against the grain, serve on plates with Parmesan cream sauce spooned over. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesa
Notes
For optimal flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Resting the steak is crucial for retaining juices.
