A perfectly seared ribeye steak, topped with a rich, savory garlic herb butter, makes for the ultimate steakhouse experience right at home.
Ingredients:
For the Ribeye Steak:
2 ribeye steaks (1.5–2 inches thick)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
For the Garlic Herb Butter:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter:
Mix the butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, chives, lemon juice, and parmesan (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Shape the butter: Stir until everything is evenly combined. Transfer the butter to a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap and roll it into a log. Place it in the fridge to chill while you cook the steaks.
Cook the Ribeye Steaks:
3. Season the steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Rub them generously with olive oil, then season both sides with salt and pepper.4. Preheat the pan: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil to the pan and let it get very hot.
5. Sear the steaks: Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a deep brown crust forms. For added flavor, throw in the rosemary/thyme sprigs and garlic towards the end of searing, basting the steaks with the aromatics.6. Check for doneness: For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C), and for medium, 140°F (60°C). Adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness.
Rest the Steaks:
7. Rest the steaks: Once cooked to your desired level, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Top with Garlic Herb Butter:8. Add the butter: While the steaks are resting, slice the chilled garlic herb butter into rounds and place a piece on top of each steak.
Pro Tip:
For a perfect sear, make sure your pan is hot and don’t overcrowd the steaks. If you need to cook multiple steaks, do so in batches.
Serve the steaks with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
