Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from 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 Steaks

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat for about 5 minutes until very hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steaks

    Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to achieve a good sear.

  3. 5

    Flip and Add Butter

    Flip the steaks and add 1 tablespoon of butter and the sprigs of rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.

  4. 6

    Baste the Steaks

    Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and herb mixture for enhanced flavor.

  5. 7

    Check for Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F (54°C).

  6. 8

    Rest the Steaks

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
