Pan-Seared Steak with Rosemary and Garlic Butter

This Pan-Seared Steak with Rosemary and Garlic Butter is a restaurant-quality dish made at home. Perfectly cooked steak is infused with the rich flavors of rosemary, garlic, and butter for an irresistible finish.


Ingredients

(Serves 2)

  • 2 boneless ribeye, strip, or filet mignon steaks (about 1-1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional, for added aroma)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steaks

  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.

2. Sear the Steaks

  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
  • Place the steaks in the skillet and sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until a golden crust forms. Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the Garlic Butter

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter, smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
  • As the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the infused butter for 1-2 minutes.

4. Check Doneness

  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
    • Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)
    • Medium-Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
    • Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
    • Medium-Well: 150-155°F (65-68°C)
  • Remove the steaks from the skillet 5°F below your desired doneness as they will continue to cook while resting.

5. Rest and Serve

  • Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
  • Serve the steaks with the garlic butter spooned over the top.

Tips

  • Cast Iron Skillet: Use a cast iron skillet for the best sear and even cooking.
  • Room Temperature Steaks: Allowing the steaks to come to room temperature ensures even cooking.
  • Pairing Suggestions: Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

This Pan-Seared Steak with Rosemary and Garlic Butter is a show-stopping dish that’s as flavorful as it is simple to prepare. 🥩🧄🌿
