Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides. Let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let melt and bubble.
  3. Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes without moving them.
  4. Flip the steaks and add 2 tablespoons of butter and 3-4 minced garlic cloves. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into the skillet and whisk to deglaze. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Incorporate ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese into the simmering sauce. Whisk until melted and creamy, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Slice the rested steaks against the grain and drizzle with the creamy Parmesan sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
