Ingredients

• 2 pieces (12 oz each) Ribeye steaks
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs

Directions

Step 1

Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to create a dry rub.

Step 3

Pat the ribeye steaks dry with a paper towel, then rub both sides with olive oil.

Step 4

Evenly coat each steak with the dry rub, pressing the mixture into the meat to ensure it sticks.

Step 5

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, place the steaks in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a deep golden crust forms.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining butter and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.

Step 8

Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and juices. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes per side or until the steaks reach your desired doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 9

Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let the steaks rest for 5-7 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 10

Serve the ribeyes hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables.
