Ingredients
Steak Base
- 6 pieces ribeye steaks room temperature
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 4 cloves garlic minced finely
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Optional Sides
- 2 cups mashed potatoes warm for serving
- 1 cup broccoli steamed
Instructions
- Pat steaks dry carefully and season both sides evenly using salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil inside a skillet until very hot and lightly smoking.
- Sear steaks until deep brown crust forms while centers stay juicy and tender.
- Add butter garlic and parsley while spooning melted mixture across steaks continuously.
- Cook steaks to preferred doneness while keeping edges crisp and flavorful throughout completely.
- Rest cooked steaks briefly before slicing for balanced texture and juicy flavorful bites.
- Serve warm alongside mashed potatoes or broccoli with extra garlic butter spooned generously.
Notes
Cook steaks shorter for softer centers or longer for crispier edges and firmer texture. Freeze cooked steak slices inside sealed containers for easier dinners later. Handle melted butter carefully because garlic can brown quickly. Customize flavor using rosemary, thyme, or chili flakes. Store leftovers refrigerated and reheat gently for best tenderness.
