Steak With Lemon Parmesan Cream Sauce

Juicy, tender steak with a rich, creamy and cheesy luxurious lemon Parmesan cream sauce! An easy and quick dinner!

If you know me, you know that I love steak! I just had to share this ridiculously lip smacking good ribeye steak recipe with you. It’s super easy to make and the sauce, well, you’re going to want to swim in it! The sauce is creamy, cheesy,  rich and the the lemon juice really brightens up the sauce. This sauce is a little on the thicker side because I like to mix the Parmesan sauce with plain mashed potatoes with broccoli on the side. If you need to make the sauce thinner, add 1/4 – 1/2 cup of beef broth to the sauce. Good lawd, it’s so good! Hope you have a great weekend!

Ingredients:
3 boneless ribeye (1.5 lb 3 per pack, value pack)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream (add more for taste or thin out the sauce)
2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1.5 tbsp fresh parsley
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp lemon zest
salt and pepper for taste

*1/4 -1/2 cup beef broth (see notes below in the actual recipe)

Place a cast iron or any heavy duty oven-proof skillet in the oven then set the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

While the oven heats up, drizzle vegetable oil or olive oil on both sides of the steak then season with salt and pepper.  Next, start on the sauce.

The sauce literally comes together pretty fast, less than 10 minutes. Add the heavy whipping cream, butter, Parmesan cheese  in a sauce pan over medium high heat. Cook, whisking frequently about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice mix well. If you need to make the sauce thinner add beef broth to the sauce (see notes in the actual recipe below).  Season with salt and pepper for taste.

Remove the skillet from the oven and place it on the stove over medium high heat. Do not turn off the oven. Keep it on 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Make sure the pan is very hot so that you can achieve a really great crust on the steak. Do not oil the pan at all. The pan must be dry. Place the steaks on the dry skillet but do not overcrowd your pan or the temperature of the pan will decrease fast.

Most ribeye steaks are usually 1 1/4 inch thick, or no less than an inch thick, so you’ll want to cook each steak without moving it around for 1-2 minutes on each side. If you like your steak rare then it’s done.  Remove it from the pan, cover loosely with foil and set to the side to rest for 2-3 minutes.

If you want your steak to cook longer, place the cast iron pan back into the oven. For medium well, cook the steaks in the oven for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and cover loosely in foil for 2-3 minutes. If you want them well done then add a minute or two to each sides or longer depending on your desired doneness. Add the parmesan sauce into the pan you used to cook the steak then add the steak.  Garnish with fresh parsley and the lemon zest. Serve immediately

Notes

I didn't add beef broth to this recipe because I like the sauce for this recipe a bit thicker to because I mix it with mashed potatoes but if you need to make the sauce thinner, you can thin it out by adding 1/4-1/2 cup of beef broth to the sauce. Add more if needed.

  1. This sounds easy.. and very delicious. Definitely going to make it. I would like to add garlic to it… I love garlic and this it would complement it very well.

  2. This looks delicious, I am on the hunt for ways to dress up steak as we are embarking on a keto diet. Will add this to the list!

  3. Oh my, that steak looks so tender and juicy and the sauce! That is the perfect touch. Great recipe!

  4. I absolutely love steak – we almost always have it for special occasions and this recipe looks delicious. Really creamy and tempting!

  5. This one sounds delicious too! Trying this one out next!

  6. I love the sound of this. I’m so cliched with steak — it’s either a blue cheese sauce, a peppercorn sauce or Bearnaise but I love the sound of lemon and parmesan cream!
