Steps to Prepare
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
In a large cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
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.
Slice the steak against the grain and drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the slices or serve on the side.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and elegance.
