Juicy Garlic Herb Butter Steaks are a flavorful delight, featuring perfectly seared steaks topped with a rich garlic herb butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks, about 1 inch thick (8–10 oz each)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steaks: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20–30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
  4. Sear the steaks: Place the steaks in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3–4 minutes on the first side without moving them.
  5. Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes, adjusting the time depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  6. Prepare the garlic herb butter: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
  7. Once the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly and spoon the garlic herb butter over the steaks repeatedly for about 1–2 minutes.
  8. Add fresh parsley and optional lemon juice.
  9. Rest the steaks: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Spoon the remaining garlic herb butter over the steaks and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality steaks.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
  • Letting the steaks rest is crucial for juicy results.
