  • Method: Oven
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 1 or 2 ribeye steaks (1–1.5 inches thick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or high-heat cooking oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  3. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  4. Heat an oven-safe skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat until very hot.
  5. Add oil to the skillet and sear steaks for 2–3 minutes on each side until a crust forms.
  6. Add butter, garlic, and herbs to the skillet and baste the steaks with the melted butter.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast steaks for 4–6 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
  8. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  9. Remove steaks and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Letting the steak come to room temperature ensures even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer for best accuracy.
  • Resting the steak helps retain juices.
  • Basting with butter adds richness and flavor.
  • Avoid microwaving to reheat—use low heat in oven or skillet instead.
