Instructions

  1. Step 1: Remove the 12 oz ribeye steak from the refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Place the steak in the skillet and sear without moving for 4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes for medium-rare.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, and 3 smashed garlic cloves to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter constantly over the steak for 2 minutes to baste and infuse flavors.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving with the garlic rosemary butter spooned over.
