Ingredients

  1. ribeye steaks - 2 pieces (about 320 grams each, tempered)
  2. thyme - a few sprigs (fresh sprigs)
  3. rosemary - a few sprigs (fresh sprigs)
  4. garlic - 2 cloves (crushed cloves)
  5. butter - 2-3 tablespoons (for basting)
  6. salt - watch the video to see (to season before frying (30 minutes prior))
  7. black pepper - watch the video to see (to season after frying)
  8. extra virgin olive oil - watch the video to see (to lightly coat the pan)

Instructions

  1. Temper the Steaks: Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for at least 20-60 minutes to temper.
  2. Preheat the Pan: Place a cold pan on the largest burner and add a little extra virgin olive oil to coat the bottom lightly.
  3. Start Frying on Cold Pan: Place the tempered steaks directly onto the cold pan, then turn the heat to full blast (highest setting).
  4. Flip Steaks Regularly: Flip the steaks every two minutes to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Add Butter and Herbs: After about 4 minutes when both sides have developed color, add butter, crushed garlic cloves, thyme, and rosemary to the pan. Baste the steaks continuously with the melted butter.
  6. Continue Cooking: Continue frying the steaks, flipping every two minutes, for a total cooking time depending on desired doneness.
  7. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a rack or plate to rest for 5-14 minutes depending on doneness, allowing the juices to redistribute.
  8. Season and Serve: Season the steaks with salt (if not done earlier) and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
