Ingredients

• 2 pieces (10-12 oz each) Rib eye steaks
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons (softened) Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Spoon the herbed butter mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap, form it into a log shape, wrap tightly, and refrigerate until firm.

Step 3

Season both sides of the rib eye steaks generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and let it shimmer.

Step 5

Carefully place the steaks into the hot skillet. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time depending on your preferred level of doneness. Use tongs to sear the edges of the steak as well.

Step 6

Once the steaks are cooked to your preferred doneness, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board or plate, loosely tented with aluminum foil.

Step 7

While the steaks rest, slice the herbed butter into rounds.

Step 8

Top each steak with a slice or two of the herbed butter before serving. Let the butter melt over the hot steak for a rich, flavorful finish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
