Steak Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook evenly.
- 2
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of each ribeye steak with salt and black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat to adhere.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- 4
Sear the Steaks
Add the seasoned ribeye steaks to the hot pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, until a nice crust forms.
- 5
Flip the Steaks
Using tongs, flip the steaks over and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a different doneness.
- 6
Add Butter and Aromatics
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add 2 tablespoons of butter, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics.
- 7
Rest the Steaks
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
