Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble and foam, about 2 minutes.
  3. Sear the Steaks: Place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving the steaks.
  4. Add Garlic and Butter: Flip the steaks and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, basting the steaks.
  5. Rest the Steaks: Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let them rest for about 5 minutes.
  6. Prepare the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Whisk the mixture to dissolve browned bits and let simmer gently.
  7. Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese into the simmering cream sauce and let it thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Slice the rested steaks against the grain and plate. Drizzle the cream sauce over the steak slices and garnish with parsley.
