The Ultimate Guide for Beginners ✨
Here is the complete, easy-to-follow recipe for your website:
Prep time: 30 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Servings: 1-2
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lb (700g) Thick-Cut Ribeye Steak (brought to room temperature)
- Coarse Sea Salt (to taste)
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
- 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 2 Garlic Cloves (crushed)
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Grapeseed Oil (or any high-heat oil)
- 1 tbsp (15g) Unsalted Butter
Instructions:
- Preparation: Pat the steak completely dry with paper towels. This is the secret to a great crust. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- The Sear: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke slightly. Add the oil. Place the steak in the pan (lay it away from you to avoid splashes).
- Cooking: Sear for about 3–4 minutes without moving it. Flip the steak once a deep brown crust has formed.
- The Butter Baste: Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the butter, garlic, and thyme. Once the butter melts and foams, tilt the pan and use a large spoon to pour the flavored butter over the steak repeatedly for 2–3 minutes.
- The Rest: Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a warm plate. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a tender bite.
