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.
