Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (1–1.5 inches thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Remove steaks from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
- Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add steaks and sear for 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until desired doneness is reached.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, garlic, and herbs to the skillet.
- Spoon melted garlic butter over the steaks repeatedly for 1–2 minutes to baste.
- Remove steaks from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes
For extra flavor, let the steaks marinate in garlic and herbs for 1–2 hours before cooking. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
