Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Ribeye steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons (freshly cracked) Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Pat dry the steaks with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the pan is hot and shimmering, place the steaks in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness.
Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, and thyme sprigs to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter mixture for an added layer of flavor.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Tent loosely with aluminum foil to rest for 5-7 minutes.
In the same skillet over medium heat, add maple syrup and soy sauce. Stir and cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes or until it thickens slightly into a glaze.
Return the steaks to the skillet and coat them with the glaze on both sides, spooning it over to ensure even coverage.
Serve the Maple Pepper Steaks hot, garnished with the thyme sprigs from the pan, alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
