Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (12 oz each) Ribeye steak (or your preferred cut)
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (smashed)
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Heat a heavy skillet, such as cast iron, over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Carefully place the steaks in the hot skillet. Sear on one side for 3-4 minutes without moving them until a deeply golden crust forms.
Flip the steaks over and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks continuously with the melted butter.
Check for doneness with an instant-read thermometer: aim for 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or your desired level of doneness.
Once your preferred doneness is achieved, remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a plate or cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the steaks whole or sliced against the grain with the garlic-herb butter drizzled over them. Pair with your favorite side dishes.
