Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Remove 2 ribeye steaks (about 10 oz each) from the refrigerator and pat dry. Season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until shimmering (about 400°F). Place the steaks in the pan and sear without moving for 4 minutes until a dark golden crust forms.
  3. Step 3: Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or longer to your desired level. Remove steaks from pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, combine 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5: Top each rested steak with 2 tbsp of the garlic herb butter, allowing it to melt over the warm meat. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
