  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks or preferred cut
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs

Instructions

  1. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time as desired. Add garlic and herbs during the last minute.
  4. Reduce heat to low, add butter to the skillet, and spoon melted butter over the steaks to enhance flavor.
  5. Remove the steaks and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the butter sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough to get a good sear. Do not crowd the pan.
  • Use fresh herbs for aromatic flavor.
  • Resting the steak helps retain juices for maximum tenderness.
