Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Sauce
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Pasta
- 8 ounces spaghetti
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the spaghetti, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season the steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks dry, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Sauté garlic in butter: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter, and melt it. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook the steaks: Place the seasoned steaks in the skillet with the garlic butter. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting time to your preferred level. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure a nice sear.
- Rest the steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
- Make the creamy sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Bring it to a gentle simmer while scraping up any browned bits from the steak for extra flavor.
- Add parmesan cheese: Stir in the grated parmesan until it melts smoothly into the cream, forming a rich and creamy sauce.
- Toss spaghetti in sauce: Add the cooked spaghetti back to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy parmesan sauce.
- Serve: Slice the rested steaks against the grain and arrange on top of the creamy spaghetti. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ribeye or any other well-marbled steak for best flavor and tenderness.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the sauce may be less rich.
- Letting the steak rest is crucial to keep it juicy.
- If parmesan is not available, Pecorino Romano can be used as a substitute.
- Adjust steak cooking times based on thickness and desired doneness.
