Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, optional
Directions
- Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking so they can come to room temperature.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with sea salt and black pepper.
- Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil.
- Place the steaks in the hot pan and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on the first side without moving them, so a good crust can form.
- Flip the steaks and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
- Add the butter, crushed garlic, and thyme or rosemary if using. As the butter melts, spoon it over the steaks for extra flavor.
- Continue cooking until the steaks reach your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before serving so the juices can redistribute.
