A flavorful and simple recipe for perfectly seared ribeye steaks with a buttery garlic and herb finish, ideal for a quick and delicious steak dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 2 ribeye steaks

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprig (optional, for aroma)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Rub both sides liberally with olive oil to help the seasoning adhere and promote browning.
  2. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using. This creates a balanced, flavorful rub for the steak.
  3. Season the Steaks: Generously apply the spice mixture to both sides of each steak, pressing the seasonings into the meat for maximum flavor penetration.
  4. Heat the Skillet: Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to get very hot. Add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs to the pan to infuse aroma and flavor into the butter.
  5. Sear the Steaks: Add the steaks to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. As they cook, spoon the melted garlic herb butter over the steaks to baste and enhance flavor.
  6. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and loosely tent them with foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender steak when sliced.

Notes

  • For thicker steaks, you may need to finish cooking in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) after searing to reach desired doneness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • Letting the steak come to room temperature before cooking can help cook evenly.
  • Butter and herbs add richness and aroma but can be omitted for a leaner version.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs based on preference, such as sage or oregano.
