Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8 oz each) ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking throughout the steak.
Season the steaks on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat to adhere.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Lay the steaks in the pan, ensuring they do not touch each other. Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a deep brown crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the pan. As the butter melts, add the minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh thyme, and fresh rosemary.
Tilt the pan slightly to pool the butter and continuously spoon the melted butter mixture over the steaks. Continue this process for about 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steak reaches your desired level (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, and 145°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the pan and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes to reabsorb the juices.
Add the lemon juice to the pan and swirl to combine with the garlic herb butter sauce.
Serve the steak topped with the garlic herb butter sauce, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
