Instructions

Step 1: In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, and 1 tbsp chopped rosemary. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Season the 2 ribeye steaks with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the steaks and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness.
Step 3: Spoon the herb-infused lemon garlic butter over the steaks during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving immediately.
