Method

Preparation

1
Prepare the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This helps the steaks cook more evenly.
2
Season the Steaks
Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use about 1 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of pepper per side, adjusting to taste.

Cooking

3
Heat the Pan
In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the olive oil over high heat until it begins to shimmer and smoke slightly.
4
Sear the Steaks
Carefully place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving them to develop a nice crust.
5
Flip the Steaks
Using tongs, flip the steaks over and add the butter, garlic cloves (smashed with the side of a knife), and rosemary to the pan.
6
Baste the Steaks
As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well-done.
7
Check the Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for about 130-135°F (54-57°C).
8
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Allow them to rest for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing.
