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