Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 2 (8-ounce) ribeye steaks with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on both sides. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Add steaks to skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for desired doneness), then transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to the same skillet over medium heat; stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 lemon zested and juiced, 1/2 cup beef broth, and 1/4 cup heavy cream; simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Slice rested steaks and drizzle with the lemon-parsley sauce before serving.
