Perfectly tender, juicy steak is served with the most velvety cream sauce that just melts in your mouth! SO GOOD!!!
Ingredients:
- 4 (12-ounce) rib-eye steaks*, 1 1/4-inch-thick, at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
FOR THE GARLIC PARMESAN CREAM SAUCE:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth, or more, as needed
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, or more, as needed
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 ounce cream cheese, at room temperature
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- To make the garlic parmesan cream sauce, melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, basil and oregano. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan and cream cheese until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more heavy cream as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Preheat oven to broil. Place an oven-proof skillet in the oven.
- Using paper towels, pat both sides of the steak dry. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove skillet from the oven and heat over medium-high heat.
- Place the steak in the middle of the skillet and cook until a dark crust has formed, about 1 minutes. Using tongs, flip, and cook for an additional 60 seconds.
- Place skillet into the oven and cook until desired doneness is reached, about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, flipping once. Let rest for 3-5 minutes.
- Serve immediately with garlic parmesan cream sauce, garnished with parsley, if desired.
NOTES:
- *T-bone, filet mignon or New York strip steak can also be used.
