📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the coarse black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

3. Rub both sides of each steak generously with the spice mixture to create a flavorful crust.

4. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

5. Once the skillet is smoking hot, sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side to create a golden-brown crust.

6. Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.

7. Tilt the skillet slightly to pool the melted butter and baste the steaks continuously using a spoon for 2-3 minutes on each side.

8. Using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the steaks: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.

9. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to retain their juices.

10. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the steaks and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fragrant finish.

11. Slice the steaks against the grain or serve whole, accompanied by your favorite sides.
