Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Choose the Right Steaks: Opt for ribeye steaks for their marbling and juiciness. Sirloin or filet mignon can be used for a leaner option.
- Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat Your Pan: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add Olive Oil: Add olive oil to the hot skillet, swirling to coat the bottom.
- Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them.
- Flip the Steaks: Flip the steaks using tongs, adding minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan.
- Cook the Other Side: Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Baste the Steaks: Tilt the pan and baste the steaks with melted butter and pan juices.
- Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest, covered loosely with foil, for 5-10 minutes.
- Prepare the Pan for Sauce: Keep the skillet on medium heat to utilize the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom.
- Add Beef Broth: Pour in beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate Soy Sauce and Worcestershire Sauce: Add soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, simmering for another minute.
- Finish with Butter and Lemon Juice: Remove from heat, stir in butter until melted, and add lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Slice the Steaks: Slice the rested steaks against the grain into thick strips.
- Plate the Steaks: Arrange the sliced steak on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Drizzle with Garlic Sauce: Generously drizzle the garlic sauce over the steak.
- Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle extra chopped herbs on top for a pop of color.
Notes
