Instructions

Season the ribeye steaks evenly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
Flip the steaks using tongs, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream, whisking continuously to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and whisk until the sauce is thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Slice the steaks, plate them, and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Season the steaks right before cooking so salt does not draw out too much moisture. Letting the pan get hot gives a better crust. Rest the steaks to keep juices inside. Scraping the browned bits into the cream lifts flavor into the sauce. Whisking keeps the sauce smooth and prevents clumps.
