This recipe features a thick ribeye steak cooked using the reverse sear method for even doneness and finished with a rich garlic herb butter for a restaurant-quality steak experience at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut ribeye steak (about 1.5 to 2 inches thick, 12–16 oz / 340–450 g)
  • Coarse kosher salt (season generously)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil with a high smoke point (like grapeseed or avocado oil)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Take your ribeye out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Sprinkle coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides generously.
  3. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set the steak on top for even air circulation.
  4. Roast the steak in the oven for about 20-30 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 110-115°F (43-46°C) for medium-rare.
  5. While the steak is in the oven, mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add the neutral oil. When the pan is smoking hot, sear the steak for about 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side, including the edges.
  7. Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Spoon the garlic herb butter over the top while resting to let it melt into the steak.
  8. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Pat the steak dry to ensure a good sear. Use a thermometer for accuracy. Rest the steak after searing to redistribute juices. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based alternative and use garlic-infused olive oil.
