Tender, juicy ribeye with a perfect seared crust, flavored with garlic butter and ready in under 30 minutes.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 ribeye steaks (½ pound or 8 ounces each), 1-inch thick, at room temperature
02 -
1 teaspoon salt
03 -
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
04 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
05 -
¼ cup butter
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
02 -
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season all over with salt and pepper.
03 -
Brush olive oil over a grill pan or skillet and heat on medium-high for 3-4 minutes until shimmering and sizzling.
04 -
Place steaks on the pan and cook for 1 minute. Rotate 90 degrees to create criss-cross grill marks and cook for another minute.
05 -
Add butter and minced garlic to the pan, allowing the butter to melt. Baste the steaks by repeatedly spooning the melted butter and garlic over them for several minutes while tilting the pan slightly.
06 -
Flip the steaks and repeat the basting process. Cook until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness: 130-135°F for rare, 135°F for medium rare, 140°F for medium, or 155°F for well-done. This process takes about 10 minutes in total.
07 -
Remove the steaks from the pan and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
08 -
Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Pour remaining garlic butter from the pan over the steaks.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
To check doneness, insert a digital meat thermometer into the center of the steak for an accurate reading.
02 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
03 -
To reheat, gently warm the steak in a cast iron skillet or bake at 250°F in the oven until thoroughly warmed.
04 -
Cooked steak can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
