Perfectly Juicy Garlic Butter Steak Recipe 🥩
Ready to elevate your steak game? This juicy, garlic-butter steak recipe is simple yet incredibly flavorful, making it perfect for a cozy night in or impressing guests!
🍽️ Ingredients:
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (1.5 inches thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional, but highly recommended!)
🔥 Instructions:
- Prep the Steaks: Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high heat until it’s very hot. You want that pan to be smoking hot for a perfect sear!
- Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks in the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they develop a beautiful crust. Flip only once!
- Add Garlic & Butter: Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, garlic cloves, and fresh herbs to the pan. Baste the steaks by spooning the melted butter and garlic over them for another 1-2 minutes. This step adds so much flavor!
- Rest & Serve: Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with the garlicky, buttery pan drippings on top.
🥂 Pairing Tip: Serve with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and a glass of red wine. You’re in for a treat!
