Ingredients

• 1 pound Rib eye steak (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (smashed)

Directions

Step 1

Take the rib eye steak out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.

Step 2

Generously season both sides of the steak with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Pat the seasonings into the meat to ensure they stick.

Step 3

Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes until it is smoking hot.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil into the hot skillet and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Carefully place the steak in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes without moving it to develop a deep golden-brown crust.

Step 6

Flip the steak and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Turn the heat down to medium and add the butter, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, and smashed garlic cloves to the skillet.

Step 8

Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter and herb mixture. Continue basting for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Check the internal temperature of the steak using an instant-read thermometer: 120°F for rare, 130°F for medium rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium well. Adjust cook time as needed to achieve desired doneness.

Step 10

Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite steakhouse sides like mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, or a crisp Caesar salad.
