Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with the garlic butter drizzled on top.
