Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Remove steak from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 4-5 minutes until a brown crust forms. Flip and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  3. Transfer cooked steaks to a cutting board and tent with foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Deglaze with ½ cup beef broth, then whisk in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Slice rested steaks and arrange on plates. Ladle sauce over steaks, garnish with parsley, thyme, and red pepper flakes.
