ingredients

  • 1 Fat Ribeye Steak
  • 3 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • an absurd amount Garlic Cloves
  • 4 ounces Unsalted Butter
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt & Fresh Cracked Pepper

Method

  • Step 1

    Bring your ribeye to room temperature. Let that mofo sit out for at least an hour.

  • Step 2

    Leave your cast iron skillet on a medium-high heat until it’s just starting to smoke. Now drop the heat to medium, add your olive oil and slowly lay the ribeye away from you at 6 o’clock. If the pan is not singing back to you, it’s not hot enough.

  • Step 3

    Let it sear. Leave it alone. You should start to see a crust forming on the bottom of it. Drop your garlic into the pan, break one open and rub the steak with it.

  • Step 4

    Flip the steak.

  • Step 5

    Add rosemary and the garlic to the top of the steak and drop the butter into the pan. Once the butter has completely melted, tilt the pan at about a 15 degree angle and start basting the steak. Aim for the garlic and rosemary-- at the very center. Do this until the rosemary appears fried.

  • Step 6

    Pull the steak out of the pan and let it rest the same amount of time it took to cook it.
