  • Add the steak to the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  • In the final minute, add the butter and minced garlic to the pan and baste the steak.
  • Remove the steak and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes.
  • In the same skillet, lower the heat and add heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer; stir in the Parmesan cheese.
