Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them, until a brown crust forms.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Herbs

    Flip the steaks over using tongs. Add the butter and fresh rosemary to the pan. As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and rosemary for additional flavor.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    Continue cooking the steaks for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
