Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1-inch thick, approx. 8 oz each) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30-60 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature.
Step 2
Preheat your broiler to high and place a rack approximately 4-6 inches below the heat source.
Step 3
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a good sear.
Step 4
Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 5
Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the pan and lay the steaks on the rack.
Step 6
Place the steaks under the broiler. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip them using tongs and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes on the other side, depending on your preferred doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Step 7
In the final minute of cooking, top each steak with 1 tablespoon of butter and add fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs, if using, for added flavor.
Step 8
Remove the steaks from the broiler and let them rest for 5-10 minutes, loosely covered with foil, to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite side dishes.
