Description

How to make tender garlic butter steak with a rich, creamy parmesan sauce, using simple steps that make a delicious meal for any night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Steak & Dairy Base:
  • 2 (1.5-inch thick) ribeye or sirloin steaks
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup (packed) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Aromatics & Umami:
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium shallot, finely diced
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Essential Seasonings:
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • Fresh Finish:
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Pat steaks dry, then season generously with salt and pepper. Mince garlic, finely dice shallot, and grate Parmesan. This initial prep makes creating the Garlic Butter Steak with Parmesan Cream Sauce Made Easy much smoother.
  2. Sear Steaks: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply caramelized. Add butter and garlic, basting for the last minute, then remove steaks to rest.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add shallots and remaining minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. This builds a flavorful base for your creamy sauce.
  4. Build Sauce: Deglaze the pan with beef broth, scraping well. Stir in heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer, then slowly whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce emulsifies and thickens.
  5. Finish Sauce: Continue simmering the sauce gently until it reaches your desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. This rich, creamy Parmesan sauce is key to your Garlic Butter Steak with Parmesan Cream Sauce Made Easy.
  6. Assemble Dish: Slice the rested steaks against the grain. Arrange steak on plates, then generously spoon the rich Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
  7. Serve Meal: Serve your incredible Garlic Butter Steak with Parmesan Cream Sauce Made Easy immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus for a complete, comforting meal that’s sure to impress everyone.

Notes

Slowly whisk in freshly grated Parmesan off the heat to prevent the sauce from splitting or becoming lumpy.

Store leftover steak and sauce separately in airtight containers; refrigerate for 3-4 days and check for off smells.

Finely diced yellow onion can substitute for shallots for a similar aromatic base in the sauce.

Serve immediately, generously spooning the rich sauce over sliced steak; pair with mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus.

Prep aromatics and grate Parmesan a day ahead to make dinner flexible and quicker to serve.

Brown the butter until golden before adding garlic for an extra nutty depth and enhanced steak flavor profile.
