Indulge in a Culinary Delight: Herb-Crusted Ribeye Steak
Ingredients:
- 1 1.5-inch thick, fatty Ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons of premium olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped rosemary
- 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Allow the Ribeye steak to reach room temperature for optimal cooking, approximately 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for ideal roasting.
- In a small bowl, blend minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to craft a tantalizing herb paste.
- Massage the herb paste evenly onto both sides of the steak, ensuring a flavorful coating.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for approximately 2 minutes on each side, forming a delectable golden crust.
- Introduce the unsalted butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt luxuriously over the steak. Baste the steak with the buttery goodness for an additional minute.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes to achieve a mouthwatering medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
- Rest the steak for 10 minutes before elegantly slicing and serving, allowing the flavors to harmonize.
