Rib Eye Steak with Garlic Butter

Step 1

Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Heat a heavy pan such as a cast iron skillet over high heat.

Step 4

Add the oil to the pan. Place the steaks in the pan in a single layer.

Step 5

Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until deep golden brown.

Step 6

Add the butter to the pan. After the butter has melted, add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Spoon the butter mixture over the steaks. Insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of one of the steaks.

Step 8

Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes or until the thermometer registers at between 130-135 degrees F for a medium steak.

Step 9

Remove the meat from the pan. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the pan drippings over the steak, then slice and serve immediately.
