Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (12 oz each) rib-eye steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
Remove the rib-eye steaks from the refrigerator and pat them dry with paper towels. Let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over both sides of each steak. Then, generously season the steaks with the prepared spice mixture, pressing it into the meat.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and let it get hot (but not smoking).
Place the steaks into the skillet and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on the first side to develop a golden-brown crust. Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your desired level of doneness.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to retain their juices.
While the steaks rest, mix the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and chopped dill in a small bowl to create a fresh herb drizzle.
Slice the steaks against the grain, if desired, and serve with the herb drizzle spooned over the top.
