Ingredients

• 1 ribeye steak, 1.5 inches thick (thicker cuts ensure a perfect sear)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (I always use European-style for its richness)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced (fresh is best for that punchy flavor)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin is my go-to for its fruity notes)
• 1 tsp salt (I prefer sea salt for its clean taste)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground (pre-ground just doesn’t compare)

Instructions

1. Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature for even cooking.
2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot, about 5 minutes.
3. Rub the steak with olive oil, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
4. Place the steak in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 4 minutes to form a crust.
5. Flip the steak. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Tip: Spoon the melted butter over the steak for extra flavor.
6. Cook for another 4 minutes for medium-rare (135°F on a meat thermometer). Adjust time for desired doneness.
7. Remove the steak from the skillet. Let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes. Tip: Resting ensures juices redistribute.

Herb Crusted Ribeye Steak

Herb crusted ribeye steak is a showstopper for any dinner table. Here’s how to make it right.

Ingredients

– 2 ribeye steaks, 1.5 inches thick (thickness ensures juicy interior)
– 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for richness)
– 1 tbsp kosher salt (coarse grains stick better)
– 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground (freshness elevates flavor)

– 1 tbsp rosemary, finely chopped (woody aroma complements beef)

– 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (for unmatched crunch)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. A hot oven ensures a crispy crust.
2. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Dry surfaces brown better.
3. Rub steaks with olive oil. Coat evenly for herb adherence.
4. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Don’t skimp; ribeye can handle it.
5. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. A smoking skillet means perfect sear.
6. Sear steaks for 3 minutes per side. Resist moving them for a crust.
7. Mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, and panko in a bowl. Combine while steaks sear.
8. Press herb mixture onto steaks. Use back of a spoon to adhere.
