🥩 Garlic Herb Butter Steak
Ingredients
2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 250–300 g each)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2–3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring steaks to room temperature: Take the steaks out of the fridge about 20–30 minutes before cooking. Pat them completely dry.
2. Season: Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, and plenty of black pepper.
3. Sear: Heat a heavy skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the steaks and sear for about 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting for thickness.
4. Add the butter: Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter, smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
5. Baste: Tilt the pan slightly and repeatedly spoon the foaming garlic-herb butter over the steaks for 1–2 minutes.
6. Check doneness: For medium-rare, aim for about 54–57°C (130–135°F) after resting.
7. Rest: Transfer the steaks to a plate and rest for 5–10 minutes. Spoon some of the garlic-herb butter over the top.
8. Finish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a little flaky salt if desired.
