Ingredients
-
2 ribeye steaks (about 8 oz each)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
-
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preference. Remove steaks from the skillet and set aside to rest.
-
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
-
Add fresh thyme to the sauce, season with salt and pepper as needed, and return the steaks to the skillet for 1-2 minutes to coat with the sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes
Use a high-quality cut of steak for best results. Let the steaks rest after cooking to retain juices. The sauce can be adjusted in thickness by adding a little milk or cream if necessary.
Tips
Ensure your skillet is hot before searing the steaks to get a perfect crust. Mince garlic finely to avoid large chunks in the sauce. You can prepare the sauce ahead and reheat gently before serving.
