Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 8 oz each) Ribeye or sirloin steak
- 2 teaspoons Coarse black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (crushed) Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Step 2
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and coarse black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet (cast-iron preferred) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until it shimmers.
Step 4
Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them, to get a good sear.
Step 5
Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time depending on your desired doneness.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.
Step 7
Tilt the skillet and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Serve immediately, whole or sliced against the grain, with your choice of sides.
