Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Take the Bone-In Ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking. Generously season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Aromatics

    Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife but do not chop them. This will allow them to infuse flavor into the steak while cooking. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Carefully place the seasoned Bone-In Ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing a nice crust to form.

  3. 5

    Flip and Add Aromatics

    Flip the steaks using tongs, and add the smashed garlic cloves and fresh thyme to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the second side.

  4. 6

    Baste with Butter

    Add the unsalted butter to the skillet. As it melts, use a spoon to baste the butter over the steaks. Continue cooking for another 2-4 minutes, depending on your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).

  5. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
