Yield: 4
Materials
- - 2 ribeye steaks approximately 1 inch thick
- - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- - 2 tablespoons canola oil
- - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- - 2 cloves garlic lightly crushed
- - 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- - 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over high heat. Add the canola oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
- When the oil is shimmering but not smoking, add the steaks. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Flip the steaks and add the butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the pan.
- As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks continuously with the buttery mixture. Do this for about 2 minutes for medium-rare.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
