Method
 

Making the Steak
  1. Pat the ribeye steaks dry using paper towels and season each side with salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Heat about two tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned steaks for 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, basting with butter, smashed garlic, and fresh herbs.
  3. Transfer the steaks to a plate and allow them to rest for 5–7 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt a tablespoon of butter. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika.
  2. Simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Slice the rested ribeye steaks against the grain and plate them. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with chopped parsley or chives before serving.

Notes

Resting the steak is vital for juicy texture. Be careful when sautéing garlic not to overheat; sauté just until fragrant for best flavor.
