Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic and Herbs

    Crush the garlic cloves slightly with the flat side of a knife. Set aside. Take the fresh rosemary sprigs and prepare them for use.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

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

  2. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the seasoned ribeye steaks to the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving the steaks.

  3. 5

    Add Garlic and Herbs

    Flip the steaks over and add the crushed garlic and rosemary to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  4. 6

    Baste the Steaks

    Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the olive oil, garlic, and herb mixture for added flavor.

  5. 7

    Rest the Steaks

    Once cooked to your preference, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.
