Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 steaks (about 12 oz each) Ribeye steak (or preferred cut)
- 3 tablespoons Montreal steak seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Take the steaks out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. This helps them cook more evenly.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps achieve a nice crust.
Brush the steaks lightly with olive oil on both sides, then generously sprinkle the Montreal steak seasoning all over the steaks, pressing it in gently with your hands.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill over high heat for about 5 minutes until it is very hot. If using a skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the skillet or grill and sear without moving them for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until a deep golden crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust accordingly for your desired level of doneness.
Lower the heat slightly. Add the butter, minced garlic, and rosemary sprigs (if using) to the skillet or grill. Using a spoon, baste the steaks occasionally with the melted butter mixture for extra flavor.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and so on.
Remove the steaks from the heat and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice against the grain and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes.
