Ingredients

• 2 pieces ribeye steak
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry using a paper towel. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a golden-brown crust forms. Do not move the steaks during this time to achieve a proper sear.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, garlic cloves (crushed slightly but left whole), and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.

Step 6

Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the top of the steaks with the melted butter mixture for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Step 7

Check the internal temperature of the steaks: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, and 145°F (63°C) for medium. Cook longer if desired, but avoid overcooking.

Step 8

Once the steaks reach your preferred doneness, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice against the grain and serve immediately, drizzling any pan juices over the top for added flavor.
