Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) ribeye steak
• 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 whole, smashed garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the coarse black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

Step 3

Rub both sides of each steak generously with the spice mixture to create a flavorful crust.

Step 4

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the skillet is smoking hot, sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side to create a golden-brown crust.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.

Step 7

Tilt the skillet slightly to pool the melted butter and baste the steaks continuously using a spoon for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Step 8

Using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the steaks: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the steaks and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fragrant finish.

Step 11

Slice the steaks against the grain or serve whole, accompanied by your favorite sides.
