Steak Recipe

Steak Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30-40 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat for better flavor.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This will create a nice sear on the steak.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Once the oil is hot, carefully place the steaks in the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, until a golden-brown crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Aromatics

   Flip the steak using tongs and add the smashed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

6. 6

   Baste with Butter

   Add the butter to the pan. As it melts, use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter for enhanced flavor. Cook until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness, about 130°F for medium-rare.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Once cooked, remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

8. 8

   Slice and Serve

   After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces. Serve immediately, optionally with the pan juices drizzled on top.
