Ingredients
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (1-inch thick)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped herbs, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
- Season the Steaks: Generously season the steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Sear the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
- Flip and Cook: Turn the steaks over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to reach your preferred doneness.
- Add Herb Butter: During the last minute of cooking, place a dollop of herb butter on top of each steak. Allow it to melt and baste the steaks as they finish cooking.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve with additional herb butter on top.
