Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks 1-2 inches thick
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp thyme 1 sprig
  • 1 tsp rosemary 1 sprig
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. Lightly oil the steak with a thin coat of olive oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop for about 3 minutes.
  • Place the steak in the pan. Rotate every 2 minutes for 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan. Begin basting the steak with the butter as soon as it melts.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature. Cook to 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (65°C) for medium-well.
  • Once the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness, transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy your delicious cast iron skillet ribeye steak! You can serve it with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or baked potatoes.
