This recipe is perfectly tailored to prepare a sumptuous meal for six, bringing the steakhouse experience right to your home dining table. Here’s a step-by-step guide to cooking these exquisite steaks to perfection.

Ingredients:

  • 6 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 6 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

Instructions:

1. Season the Steaks:

  1. Pat Dry: Start by patting the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. This is crucial as it helps the seasoning stick better and ensures a nice sear.
  2. Season: Generously season each steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. This simple seasoning is key to enhancing the natural flavors of the ribeye.

2. Heat the Skillet:

  1. Preheat Skillet: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
  2. Add Oil: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet.

3. Sear the Steaks:

  1. Sear Steaks: Carefully place two steaks in the hot skillet. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. The high heat locks in the juices and flavors.
  2. Reduce Heat: After searing, reduce the heat to medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 cloves of smashed garlic, and 2 sprigs of rosemary or thyme to the skillet. These aromatics will infuse the steaks with a delightful depth of flavor.

4. Baste the Steaks:

  1. Baste with Butter: Tilt the skillet slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steaks continuously for about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Continue Cooking: Continue cooking the steaks to your desired level of doneness (about 3-4 minutes more for medium-rare).

5. Rest the Steaks:

  1. Transfer and Rest: Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Drizzle with Garlic Butter: Serve with the garlic butter drizzled over the top.

Tips:

  • Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Medium-rare is 135°F, medium is 145°F, and medium-well is 150°F.
  • Resting: Resting the steaks allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy steak.
  • Side Dishes: Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy your delectable, perfectly cooked Classic Ribeye Steaks, a simple yet sophisticated dish that is sure to impress your guests with its robust flavors and elegant presentation. Whether it’s a special occasion or a casual dinner, these steaks will elevate your culinary experience, making any meal memorable.
