Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 2 ribeye steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 4 minutes on the first side without moving, until a golden-brown crust forms.
  4. Step 4: Flip the steaks and add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter and herbs over the steaks continuously for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
  5. Step 5: Remove steaks from the skillet and rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Stir 1 tsp lemon juice into the garlic herb butter sauce remaining in the pan and spoon over the steaks before serving.
