🛒 Ingredients
- 🥩 2 ribeye steaks (1–1.5 inches thick)
- 🧂 Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 🌿 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
- 🧈 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 🧄 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 🧈 1 tbsp olive oil
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Bring to Room Temp:
Let steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes for even cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
2️⃣ Season Generously:
Rub each steak with olive oil 🧈 and season generously with salt 🧂 and pepper on both sides.
3️⃣ Sear in Cast Iron:
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add olive oil and sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), flipping once.
4️⃣ Add Butter & Aromatics:
During the last 2 minutes, add butter 🧈, smashed garlic 🧄, and herbs 🌿 to the skillet. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak as it finishes cooking.
5️⃣ Check for Doneness:
Use a thermometer:
- 125°F for rare
- 135°F for medium-rare
- 145°F for medium
6️⃣ Rest the Steak:
Remove from skillet and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This seals in the juices! 🥩✨
