Description
A delicious recipe for pan-seared garlic butter steak that delivers a rich flavor and tender texture.
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick, 12 oz each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (or thyme)
Instructions
- Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving them, until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Flip the steaks and add the butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary to the skillet. As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the steaks with the garlic and herb butter drizzled on top.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika to the seasoning before cooking.
- If you prefer a different cut of steak, flank or sirloin can be used as alternatives. Adjust cooking times accordingly based on thickness.
