Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 8 oz each) Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or strip steak)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary or thyme
Instructions
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Preheat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until it's very hot.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the surface.
Carefully place the steaks in the skillet, laying them away from you to avoid splattering. Let them sear undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, depending on desired doneness and steak thickness.
Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Adjust the cook time as needed for your preferred level of doneness.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, and sprigs of rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices before slicing or serving.
Serve the steaks whole or sliced, with the buttery skillet juices spooned on top for extra flavor. Enjoy!
