🥩 Garlic Herb Butter Steak Recipe
This Garlic Herb Butter Steak is juicy, flavorful, and easy to make at home. Perfect for a special dinner or any night you want restaurant-quality steak! 🧈🌿
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 Ribeye steaks (or your favorite cut, about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
- 1 tsp Fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ tsp dried)
- Salt and freshly ground Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the steak
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels.
- Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the pan
- In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sear the steak
- Place steaks in the pan and sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for thickness and desired doneness).
4. Add garlic herb butter
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the pan.
- Spoon the melted butter over the steaks continuously for 1–2 minutes (“basting”) to infuse flavor.
5. Rest the steak
- Remove steaks from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Resting helps retain juices and keeps the steak tender.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Serve with Mashed potatoes, Steamed vegetables, or a Simple salad.
- Drizzle remaining garlic herb butter from the pan over the top.
💡 Pro Tips
- For extra flavor, add a splash of Red wine or Beef broth while basting.
- Let steaks come to room temperature before cooking for even searing.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
