Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill to high heat (450°F). Season the 1.5 lbs ribeye steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Place the steak on the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 4 oz herb butter with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Using a knife, carefully spread the butter over the rested steak, ensuring it melts into the meat.
  4. Step 4: Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges for finishing.
