Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the rib-eye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Skillet

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the rib-eye steaks to the hot skillet. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time according to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Flavor

    During the last minute of cooking, add the garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, and butter to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to enhance flavor.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the rib-eye steaks against the grain and serve immediately.
