Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 2 ribeye steaks and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 8 oz sliced button mushrooms with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes until golden and tender.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the steaks and sear for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust time for preferred doneness.
  4. Step 4: In the last minute of cooking, add 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks repeatedly until fragrant and the butter is slightly browned.
  5. Step 5: Remove steaks from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve topped with the garlic herb butter and roasted mushrooms on the side.

How do I store leftover Pan-Seared Ribeye with Garlic Butter and Roasted Mushrooms?

Can I substitute ingredients in Pan-Seared Ribeye with Garlic Butter and Roasted Mushrooms?
