Let’s dive into the details of how to make this delectable dish that feels like a comforting hug from your grandma.
Ingredients
– 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (optional)
– 2 sprigs of fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by taking the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and allowing them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step ensures that they cook evenly.
2. Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry and remove any excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers (but not smokes).
4. Carefully place the ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing a nice sear to develop. If you’re feeling fancy, toss in some fresh rosemary and thyme for an extra flavor boost.
5. Use tongs to flip the steaks and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time according to your preference (5-6 minutes for medium, 7-8 minutes for medium-well).
6. While the steaks cook on the second side, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Let the butter melt and the garlic soften, occasionally swirling the pan for even cooking. Baste the steaks with the garlic butter as they cook.
7. Once the steaks reach your desired level of doneness, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for a few minutes to redistribute the juices.
8. Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and serve immediately, drizzling any remaining garlic butter from the skillet on top.
