Ingredients

• 2 pieces (12 oz each) rib-eye steaks
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Remove the rib-eye steaks from the refrigerator and pat them dry with paper towels. Let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over both sides of each steak. Then, generously season the steaks with the prepared spice mixture, pressing it into the meat.

Step 4

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and let it get hot (but not smoking).

Step 5

Place the steaks into the skillet and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on the first side to develop a golden-brown crust. Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

Add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

While the steaks rest, mix the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and chopped dill in a small bowl to create a fresh herb drizzle.

Step 9

Slice the steaks against the grain, if desired, and serve with the herb drizzle spooned over the top.
