Ingredients:
- 2 Ribeye or Sirloin steaks (approx. 1 inch thick, about 8 oz / 227 g each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 mL)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (4 g)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14 g)
- 1 cup heavy cream (240 mL)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (100 g)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Rub steaks with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on one side or until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, checking for desired doneness with a meat thermometer (135°F / 57°C for medium-rare). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, whisking constantly. Gradually incorporate Parmesan cheese, whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the steak against the grain and plate. Drizzle Alfredo sauce over the steak and garnish with parsley if desired.
