- 2 each ribeye steaks
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
How to make Classic Pan-Seared Ribeye with Garlic Herb Butter
- Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking to allow them to come closer to room temperature, which promotes more even cooking.
- Pat the steaks thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, until it is very hot and just starting to smoke.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly. Carefully place the seasoned steaks into the skillet, searing for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep, golden-brown crust forms.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 3 smashed garlic cloves, 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, and 1 sprig of fresh thyme to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and, using a spoon, continuously baste the melted butter and aromatics over the steaks for 3-5 minutes, or until the desired internal temperature is reached.
- For medium-rare, aim for 125-130°F; for medium, target 130-135°F. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak for accuracy.
- Carefully transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This crucial step allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a tender and moist steak.
- Slice the steaks against the grain, if desired, and serve immediately with the pan juices from the skillet spooned over the top. Discard the spent garlic and herbs.
