Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Beef ribeye steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup Whole30-approved beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of ghee.
When the ghee is hot and shimmering, add the steaks. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Adjust timing based on steak thickness.
Remove steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate to rest, tenting with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining tablespoon of ghee in the same skillet, and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary, cooking for an additional minute to release the herbs' aromas.
Pour in the Whole30-approved beef broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce for about 3-4 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, return the steaks to the pan to warm them through, spooning the sauce over the top.
Transfer the steaks to serving plates, drizzle each with a generous amount of garlic herb butter sauce, and serve immediately.
