Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 ribeye steak
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- Sea salt flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove of crushed garlic with its skin
- 2 sprigs of thyme
Fats and Enhancers:
- 50g butter
Instructions
- Remove the 12-ounce ribeye steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking, allowing it to reach room temperature for even heat distribution.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels and generously sprinkle 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper across both surfaces.
- Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until it becomes extremely hot and starts to slightly smoke.
- Carefully lay the seasoned steak into the hot skillet, cooking for precisely 3 minutes without moving it to develop a perfect golden-brown crust.
- Flip the steak and add 50g butter, 2 thyme sprigs, and 1 crushed garlic clove with its skin to the pan, tilting the skillet to baste the meat with melted butter.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 50°C for rare, 60°C for medium, or 70°C for well-done.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite accompaniments, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
Notes
- Selecting a high-quality ribeye with good marbling guarantees a more flavorful and tender steak.
- Room temperature meat cooks more evenly, so never skip the pre-cooking resting period.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best sear and flavor development, creating a delicious caramelized crust.
- For those avoiding dairy, replace butter with olive oil or clarify the butter to make the recipe lactose-free.
