Garlic Buttered Ribeye

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 - 16 ounce bone-in Ribeyes (about 1/2 in thick)

  • 1/2 of red onion - diced  (optional) 

  • Red bell pepper - diced (optional)

  • 2 Garlic cloves

  • 2 sticks of butter

  • Fresh rosemary and/or fresh herbs

  • Salt, Pepper, & Garlic Herb seasoning

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil 

  • Cast iron skillet (Recommended but optional)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees

  2. Make sure all prep work is done so you can focus on the flavor. Dice the onion & red bell pepper. Rough Dice so they shouldn't be super tiny. Smash garlic do not dice or it'll burn.

  3. Heat 3 Tbsp of olive oil on cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Wait till it's HOT. 

  4. Season Steak with salt & pepper to taste. (I use about 1/2 tbsp of salt, a teaspoon of pepper, & a tbsp of garlic herb seasoning per steak). Drizzle some olive oil over steak and rub season across meat evenly. 

  5. Put rosemary, smashed garlic, diced onion, & pepper around the edges of the pan or skillet. Season skillet with garlic herb. 

  6. Place steaks in skillet. You should hear a lovely sizzle as the steak touches the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on the first side.

  7. Melt butter in microwave or small sauce pan and season with garlic herb seasoning and pepper. 

  8. Flip steak and sear for another 2 minutes. While searing pour half of the butter mixture on the steaks and use a spoon to baste the steak with butter and all the goodies in the pan.

  9. Remove steaks from heat and transfer to an oven safe pan. Pour juices and remaining from the skillet over the steak.

  10. Bake until steak reaches your preferred internal temperature. Usually 4-5 minutes for Medium-rare. Longer if you like Medium-Well or Well-Done. Use a thermometer to be sure. (Remember if you have a thicker steak you may have to bake longer)

  11. Remove pan and transfer steaks to a clean cutting board. Let steak rest for 7 minutes .
