Ingredients
- 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
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering. Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
- Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side. Add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary or thyme during the last 2 minutes, basting the steaks with melted butter.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and rest them for 5-10 minutes.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add heavy cream, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika (optional). Cook for an additional 2 minutes until creamy and smooth.
- Serve the steaks on plates and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
- If you prefer a different steak, sirloin or filet mignon also work well with this recipe.
- Add sautéed mushrooms to the sauce for a hearty addition.
- For a spicy version, sprinkle in red pepper flakes to the sauce for heat.
