This Steak Recipe is practically guaranteed to become one of your favorite ways to prepare steak! It’s so easy and the end results are simple yet so incredibly delicious. It doesn’t take much when you start with a good steak, just a bit of butter and garlic and thyme if you’ve got it.
It’s one of my husband favorite foods so I’ve been trying to cook it once a month, I just can’t get enough of that crispy browned exterior and that rich garlicy butter!
Prep Time: 5 mins. Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Ingredients:
2 Ribeye (about 1 1/4-inches thick)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, (peeled and smashed)
Instructions:
1. Let steaks rest at room temperature 30 minutes.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat (you want to let it get hot oil should be shimmering near smoking, preheating should take about 3 minutes if using a gas stove, longer for electric).
3. Dab both sides of steak dry with paper towels then season both sides with salt and pepper.
4. Place steaks in skillet and using metal tongs press down over top surface of steaks to ensure the entire bottom surface is making direct contact with skillet.
5. Let cook until browned on bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until steak is about 10 degrees away from desired doneness, approximately 3 minutes longer.
6. Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, garlic and thyme. Using an oven mitt grasp pan and tilt pan so butter pools to one side, spoon butter over steaks and continue to cook until steaks registers desired doneness.
