Instructions

  1. Step 1: Remove 2 ribeye steaks (10 oz each) from the refrigerator and pat dry. Season both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Place steaks 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, or longer to desired doneness.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low and add 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, and 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted herb butter over the steaks continuously for 1-2 minutes until butter is fragrant and coats the steak.
  5. Step 5: Remove steaks from pan, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
