garlic parmesan steak

Ingredients

– 1.5-2 lbs ribeye or strip steak (1.5-2 inches thick)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together garlic, Parmesan cheese, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the garlic-Parmesan mixture evenly onto both sides of the steak, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
4. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a nice crust forms.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the steak to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for internal temperatures:
– Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
– Medium-rare: 135-140°F (57-60°C)
– Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
– Medium-well: 145-150°F (63-66°C)
– Well-done: 150-155°F (66-68°C)
6. Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
8. Serve and enjoy!

Tips

– Use high-quality ingredients, including a good cut of steak and fresh garlic.
– Don’t overcook the steak – it should be cooked to your desired level of doneness.
– Let the steak rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
– Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
