Print Recipe

This recipe uses a reverse sear method to cook ribeye steak slowly in the oven before searing it in a hot skillet, topped with a flavorful garlic herb butter for a juicy, tender, and restaurant-quality steak.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 or 2 thick-cut ribeye steaks, about 1.5 to 2 inches thick
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or high-smoke point oil like avocado oil)
  • Optional: squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Remove the ribeye from the fridge about 30-45 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Season generously with kosher salt and cracked black pepper all over the steak. Let it rest while preheating the oven.
  3. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange the steak on top.
  4. Roast the steak in the oven until it reaches an internal temperature of about 115°F (46°C) for rare or 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, about 25-40 minutes depending on thickness.
  5. While the steak roasts, combine softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped herbs in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add olive oil to coat the pan.
  7. Sear the steak for about 1-2 minutes on each side until a deep brown crust forms. Add a little garlic herb butter to the pan near the end and baste the steak.
  8. Transfer the ribeye to a plate, top with a generous dollop of garlic herb butter, and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for best accuracy. Let steak rest after cooking to redistribute juices. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or olive oil and add garlic powder. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing. Garlic herb butter can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
