Parmesan Crusted Steaks

Last year for Valentine’s Day my husband and I stayed home and I cooked us up one heck of a dinner. The main dish? Parmesan Crusted Steaks.

Ribeye Рto be exact. Although, and steak would work for this romantic entr̩e.

Since my backyard is currently buried under 4 feet of snow, the thought of grilling these steaks is nonexistent. Instead I pan seared them in my cast iron skillet to create an ultra juicy steak.

The parmesan crusted top is so simple to make you’ll be baffled.

Parmesan Crusted Steaks

What that crispy little crust does is add a new texture along with a succulent cheese and garlic flavor. It practically melts in your mouth.

All you need to do is throw all your topping ingredients into your food processor. Don’t have one? Use a hand mixer! Don’t have one of those? Use a fork! If you don’t have one of those, we have some bigger fish to fry. 😉

Give it a few whirls and it should all come together nicely. You can place it in the fridge to let it chill if you’re making your steaks later. If you’re ready to go, just leave it there and you’ll be back to it in no time.

I didn’t do anything fancy with my steaks, just simply sprinkled with salt and pepper. That’s all you really need.

Heat up just a teaspoon or two of oil in your pan until it’s smoking hot. Then reduce the heat down to medium. Toss in your steaks and let sear for a minute or two on each side, keeping in mind that you will be placing your steak under the broiler for a couple minutes. So don’t over cook it here.

Once you have seared it to your liking, spread a couple tablespoons of the parmesan mixture on top of each steak.

Toss it under the broiler and let it get crispy, bubbly and cheesy.

  • Heat a cast iron (or oven safe) skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tsp of olive oil to the pan and heat until it starts to smoke, swirl the oil around to coat skillet. Reduce heat to medium and place steaks in pan. Do not disturb the steaks for 1 minute. Flip steaks over and let sit for an additional minute.*

    I’ve been playing with variations of this recipe for about a year now. I use butter instead of mayo and much more parmesan cheese as well as mozzarella. You can mix in crab or mini shrimp as well to really give the steak a great flavor combo.

  2. Essie Hollandsworth

    This was the best I have ever made. I used the cheap Charcoal steaks and omitted the salt. I only had loaf bread and toasted it dark. OMG was this ever good. Going to try it with burgers also. <3

    that looks like a dish straight from the kitchen of one of those super fancy restaurants! ooo wow!

  5. Kathy Bickley

    This looks perfect for a warm weather on the grill. Does the topping get crisp enough on the grill or do you have to finish it under the broiler?

    • Shawn

      You’ll definitely want to set this under the broiler for the cheese to get crisp on top. Grilling the steaks is a great alternative to searing them in a pan. I hope you enjoy!

    This is definitely for me. Though my hubby is all about steak and potatoes, I enjoy a great steak as well! Perfect!

    • Shawn

      Thanks Jocelyn! I’m a huge fan of steak as well as my husband, so it’s a win-win for us! 🙂
