It’s heaven in steak form, trust me. Perfect for impressing that dinner guest or, you know, just treating yourself because why the heck not?

Okay, storytime, y’all. My husband is like a steak whisperer (I’m not even kidding), and the first time he tasted this, his eyes did that cartoon heart thing. It’s that kind of recipe that has somehow inched its way into our weekend rituals. Picture this: it’s Saturday night, we’ve got music blaring — because, yeah, we’re those people — and the kids are giggling about who-knows-what. The steak comes out of the oven all sizzling and crusty, and we huddle around it like it’s some sort of culinary campfire. It’s definitely a family staple now, and honestly, if happiness could be a food, this would be it.

Why You’ll Love This Garlic Parmesan Crusted Steak Delight

– Because you’re one of those people who believes cheese makes everything better, and you’re right.

How to Make It

Okay, so listen up. You’re gonna want to start by grabbing a good steak — talking thick and juicy, none of the wimpy stuff. Pat it dry, slap some salt and pepper on it like you’re giving it a pep talk, and set it aside. Now, the garlic and parmesan party — mash a few garlic cloves into oblivion, mix them with grated parmesan and a handful of breadcrumbs. Get wild and add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs if you’re feeling fancy. Now, coat the steak with this magical, crispy concoction. Pop that beauty in the oven and wait for aromas to take over your kitchen. Sip a glass of wine, or water if you’re trying to adult better than me, and just let it work its magic. You’ll know it’s done when it’s oh-so-golden-brown and calling your name. Dive in, my friend!

Ingredient Notes

– **Steak:** Choose it like you’re picking out a new favorite couch — sturdy, reliable, and something you’ll love sitting with for a good while.
– **Garlic:** Trust me, you want fresh cloves. Once, I used that pre-minced stuff, and, no offense, but bleh — not the same.
– **Parmesan:** Go for the real deal, none of that powdered nonsense from a shaker. The better the parm, the better the dinner!

Recipe Steps

1. Pat steak dry and season with salt and pepper.
2. Mash garlic cloves and mix with parmesan and breadcrumbs.
3. Coat steak with garlic-parmesan-breadcrumb mixture.
4. Bake in the oven until golden brown.
5. Serve to wide-eyed admirers.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

– Overcooked steak equals sad times. Keep an eye on it.
– If you’re garlic-averse, this recipe may not be for you (or you just need more practice loving garlic).

Storage Tips

If there’s any left (big if), chuck it in the fridge, wrapped up nice and cozy. And guilty confession: I’ve eaten leftover slices cold, straight out of the fridge, and nope, not sorry.

Variations and Substitutions

Running low on breadcrumbs? Crush up some crackers. Need a parm sub? Pecorino isn’t the same, but it’s also truly delightful. Oh, and once I skipped the garlic – yeah, won’t do that again… live and learn!

Main Ingredients

• ▢ 4 pieces Ribeye steaks about 8 ounces each

• ▢ 4 cloves garlic minced
• ▢ 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
• ▢ 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter for finishing

Instructions

Preparation Steps

• Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
• Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Add olive oil to the skillet and carefully place steaks in the pan. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until a brown crust forms.
• Mix minced garlic and grated Parmesan in a small bowl.
• Spoon the garlic-Parmesan mixture evenly over the steaks and top with pats of unsalted butter.
• Transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and steaks reach desired doneness.

Notes

Resting the steak allows juices to redistribute for maximum juiciness. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
