1
Prepare the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Sear the Steak
Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving them.
5
Add Aromatics
After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks and add the garlic cloves and thyme to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.
6
Baste with Butter
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the butter and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and juices.
7
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
8
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
9
Serve
Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
