1
Prepare the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to reach room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2
Season the Steaks
Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil. Generously season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat over high heat for about 5 minutes until the pan is very hot.
4
Sear the Steaks
Place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving them to achieve a nice crust.
5
Add Aromatics
After 5 minutes, flip the steaks. Add the fresh rosemary and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

6
Add Butter and Garlic
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and garlic cloves to the skillet. As the butter melts, start basting the steaks by tilting the pan and spooning the melted butter over them.
7
Continue Cooking
Add the fresh thyme and continue to baste the steaks for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare).

8
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
9
Serve
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
