Description
A sumptuous ribeye steak infused with garlic and fresh herbs, seared to perfection and topped with creamy garlic herb butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Thick-Cut Ribeye Steaks
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
- Salt & Coarse Black Pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
- 3 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Compound Butter: In a bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, and a sprinkle of sea salt until combined. Scoop the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap, roll tightly into a log, twist the ends closed, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Bring the Steaks to Temperature: About 20 minutes before cooking, remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator. Pat them dry with paper towels, ensuring the surface is moisture-free. Season generously on all sides with salt and coarse black pepper.
- Sear to Perfection: Heat the olive oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until it shimmers and begins to smoke. Lay the steaks in the pan without crowding and sear undisturbed for about 3–4 minutes on each side.
- Infuse with Herbs: During the final minute of cooking, toss in the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs directly into the skillet.
- Melt the Garlic Butter: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice a generous round of your chilled garlic herb butter and place it directly on the hot steaks.
- Slice & Serve: Carve the ribeye into thick, tender slices and serve.
Notes
Can prepare garlic herb butter up to three days in advance. Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
