- 1.5 lbs bone-in ribeye steak
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
How to make Cast Iron Seared Ribeye with Garlic Herb Butter
- Remove the 1.5 lb bone-in ribeye steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come closer to room temperature, which promotes even cooking.
- Pat the steak thoroughly dry on all sides using paper towels; this is crucial for achieving a deep, flavorful crust. Season generously with 1.5 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over high heat for 5-7 minutes until it begins to smoke lightly. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the hot skillet, ensuring it shimmers.
- Carefully place the seasoned ribeye steak in the skillet. Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep, dark brown crust forms, using tongs to flip.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 3 smashed garlic cloves, 2 fresh rosemary sprigs, and 2 fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly and, using a large spoon, continuously baste the steak with the melted butter, garlic, and herb mixture for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
- Continue cooking the steak, flipping every minute or so and basting, until it reaches your desired internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part without touching the bone: 125-130°F for rare, 130-135°F for medium-rare, 135-140°F for medium.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and moist steak.
- Slice the ribeye against the grain, spoon any remaining pan drippings and garlic herb butter over the slices, and serve immediately.
