Ingredients

For the steak:

  • 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

For the creamy garlic sauce:

  • 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

  • Pat steaks dry and season well with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high. Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your liking.
  • Add butter, garlic, and herbs, then baste with melted butter. Rest on a cutting board for 5–7 minutes.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in cream, Parmesan, Dijon, smoked paprika (optional), salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened.
  • Slice steaks against the grain, plate, and spoon creamy garlic sauce on top. Serve with your favorite sides.
