Ingredients

• ●1 (12-16 ounce) Ribeye Steak
• ●1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• ●1 teaspoon Salt
• ●1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• ●2 tablespoons Butter
• ●2 cloves Garlic
• ●2 sprigs Fresh Thyme

Instructions

1. 1Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. 2Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron is ideal) over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly.
3. 3Carefully place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
4. 4Add butter, garlic cloves, and thyme sprigs to the skillet. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter for the last minute of cooking.
5. 5Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.
