Ingredients:

• 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks (1 to 1 ½ inches thick)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 4 garlic cloves, smashed

• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional but flavorful)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra garlic kick)

• Instructions:

  1. Prep the Steak:

     • Pat steaks dry with paper towels.

     • Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using.

     • Let sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before cooking.

  2. Sear the Steak:

     • Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron is best) over medium-high heat until hot.

     • Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

     • During the last minute of cooking, reduce heat to medium-low.

  3. Add the Garlic Butter:

     • Add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs to the skillet.

     • Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steak continuously for 1–2 minutes (basting).

  4. Rest and Serve:

     • Remove steaks from skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

     • Slice against the grain, spoon some of that garlic butter over the top, and serve!

     • Tips:

       • Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness: 130°F for medium-rare.

       • Letting the steak rest ensures juices stay in the meat, not on your plate.

       • Would you like sides to go with it, like garlic mashed potatoes or roasted green beans?
