Ingredients
  

  • 2 ribeye steaks or New York strip, 1–1½ inches thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for basting steaks
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary for aromatics
  • 4 garlic cloves minced, for sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for sauce
  • ½ cup heavy cream for rich cream sauce
  • ½ cup beef broth low-sodium preferred
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese for sauce
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt for sauce, adjust as needed
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard for depth
  • 1 splash white wine optional, for added flavor

Method
 

  1. Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Pat dry and season generously with salt on both sides.
  2. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting for preferred doneness.
  3. During the final minute of cooking, add butter and rosemary to the skillet and spoon melted butter over steaks to baste.
  4. Transfer steaks to a plate or cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the same skillet and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Deglaze pan with beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and white wine, cooking 2–3 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
  7. Return steaks and accumulated juices to the skillet, or spoon sauce over steaks when serving.
