Steak With Lemon Parmesan Cream Sauce - Guide Recipe
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!

- 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.
