A quick and easy steak recipe that delivers a perfect sear with a luscious herb-butter baste, creating a flavorful and juicy steak experience reminiscent of nostalgic family meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz / 225 g each), room temperature
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Optional: a few leaves fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or high smoke point oil like avocado or light olive oil)
  • Optional: lemon wedge, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened butter with smashed garlic cloves and finely chopped fresh thyme and rosemary leaves. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Heat until oil shimmers, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Place steaks in the hot pan and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes per side (about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare).
  5. After flipping, add the herb-butter mixture and garlic cloves to the pan. Tilt the pan and baste the steaks continuously with melted butter for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Check internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium. Remove steaks just before target temperature.
  7. Transfer steaks to a warm plate, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5-7 minutes to redistribute juices.
  8. Slice against the grain, spoon extra herb-butter from the pan over the top, garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve.

Notes

Pat steaks dry before seasoning for a better sear. Use a hot pan to achieve the signature sizzling sound. Baste continuously with herb-butter after flipping to lock in moisture and flavor. Rest steaks after cooking to keep them juicy. If steaks are thicker than 1.5 inches, finish in a 400°F oven for 5-10 minutes. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan margarine or olive oil.
