Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 10-ounce steaks Ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil to help the seasoning adhere and promote a good sear.
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Generously season both sides of the steaks with the spice mixture, pressing it gently into the meat.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over high heat until it's very hot. Add a splash of olive oil if necessary.
Sear each steak for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it. This creates a flavorful crust.
Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time for your preferred doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent them loosely with aluminum foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
While the steaks rest, melt the unsalted butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Drizzle the garlic butter over the rested steaks and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Outback Steakhouse-inspired dish!
