1
Season the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks and pat them dry with a paper towel. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steaks and rub it in. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
2
Let it Rest
Allow the seasoned steaks to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy pan, heat over medium-high heat. Allow the pan to get very hot, approximately 5 minutes.
4
Cook the Steak
Once the pan is hot, add the ribeye steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop a nice crust.
5
Flip the Steak
Using tongs, flip the steaks to the other side and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust time depending on desired doneness.
6
Prepare Butter Baste
While the steak cooks, add the unsalted butter and garlic cloves to the pan. As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks repeatedly.
7
Add Fresh Herbs
During the last minute of cooking, add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan for flavor.

8
Let it Rest
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
9
Serve
Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye steak!
