Ingredients

– 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)
– Salt, to taste
– Black pepper, to taste
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 3 cloves garlic, smashed
– Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)
– Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Creating Pan-Seared Steak in Butter Sauce is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Remove the Steaks: Take your ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
2. Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. This enhances the flavor.
3. Heat the Pan: In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil (such as canola or vegetable oil) to the pan. Heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
4. Sear the First Side: Place the steaks in the hot pan and let them sear undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
5. Flip the Steaks: Use tongs to flip the steaks over and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness).
6. Add Butter: During the last minute of cooking, add the unsalted butter, smashed garlic, and herbs to the pan.
7. Baste: Tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks, enhancing their flavor and moisture.
8. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F/54°C for medium-rare).
9. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to rest for 5-10 minutes.
10. Serve with Sauce: Drizzle the buttery pan sauce over the steaks before serving.

These easy steps lead you to a mouthwatering dish packed with flavor and tenderness!
