Ingredients
- 2 (10 oz each) ribeye steak, 1-inch thick
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 3 peeled and chopped carrots, 1 lb halved baby potatoes, and 2 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, pat dry 2 ribeye steaks with paper towels and season both sides with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary. Set aside.
- Step 4: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Add steaks and sear without moving for 4 minutes until a brown crust forms. Flip and sear the other side for 3 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
- Step 5: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add herb garlic butter mixture to skillet and spoon melted butter over steaks continuously for 1-2 minutes. Remove steaks and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with roasted vegetables.
