This Pan Seared Ribeye Steak recipe delivers a restaurant-quality steak at home with a golden-brown crust, juicy center, and rich garlic-herb butter flavor. Quick, easy, and incredibly satisfying for any steak lover.

Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks (10–12 oz each, about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Let ribeye steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat until shimmering.
  4. Place steaks in the hot pan and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, garlic, and herbs.
  6. Tilt the pan and spoon herb butter over steaks for 1–2 minutes to baste.
  7. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add balsamic vinegar or soy sauce to butter for extra flavor.
  • Top with compound butter (e.g., blue cheese and herbs) for indulgence.
  • Use this method for other cuts like New York strip or filet mignon.
  • Let steaks rest after cooking to retain juices.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet with butter to avoid drying out.
