Instructions

Step 1: Remove 12 oz ribeye steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper evenly.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Place the steak in the skillet and sear for 4 minutes without moving until a deep brown crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tbsp fresh thyme, and 1 tbsp fresh rosemary to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter and herbs over the steak continuously for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the steak is cooked to your liking.
Step 5: Remove the steak and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Stir 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley into the leftover butter sauce in the pan and drizzle over the steak before serving.
