Indulge in the rich flavors of a perfectly seared ribeye steak bathed in a luscious garlic butter sauce. This savory steak recipe promises to elevate your dining experience to new heights.
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows for more even cooking.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Remove the garlic butter from the heat and set aside.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Carefully place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to allow for a nice sear.
- Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, spoon the garlic butter over the steaks, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain into thin strips. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve the garlic butter ribeye steaks hot and enjoy the succulent flavors with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Bon appétit!
