Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 2-inch thick bone-in ribeye steak about 2 lbs.
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves lightly smashed
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Flaky sea salt

Equipment

  • Plate
  • Cast-iron skillet
  • Spoon
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. On a plate, season steak generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large cast-iron skillet over medium high, heat oil until very hot. Add steak and cook until a dark crust forms on the bottom side, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  3. Flip the steak and cook, undisturbed, 6 minutes more.
  4. Reduce heat to medium low and add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Continue cooking, using a spoon to baste the steak with the butter in the bottom of the pan and flipping the steak halfway through, until steak is medium-rare (about 120°), about 5 minutes more.
  5. Remove steak to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
