Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8-10 oz each) New York strip steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Half-and-half
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the New York strip steaks with salt and black pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to let the seasoning absorb.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the steaks in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for desired doneness).
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan during the final minute of cooking and spoon it over the steaks for extra flavor.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate loosely covered with foil.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in the half-and-half, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer.
Add the cream cheese and whisk until it melts into the sauce.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully combined and smooth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Plate the rested steaks and generously spoon the garlic cheese sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
