Description
A delicious and flavorful pan-seared garlic butter steak recipe that is perfect for steak lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick, 12–16 ounces each)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the steaks in the skillet.
- Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, until a nice crust forms. Flip the steaks and add the butter, smashed garlic, and herbs to the pan.
- Baste the steaks with the melted butter using a spoon for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with the garlic butter drizzled on top.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the seasoning mix before cooking.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complement the richness of the steak.
