Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Extra virgin for drizzling and marinating
  • a few sprigs Fresh Rosemary for aromatic flavor
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced for a punchy taste
  • to taste Sea Salt enhances the meat's natural flavors
  • to taste Black Pepper freshly cracked for added spice
  • 2 tablespoons Butter for basting the steak
  • 1 whole Lemon for zest and a touch of acidity

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by removing the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator. Allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Rub this mixture generously over both sides of the steaks. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Place your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up for about 5 minutes.
  4. Once the skillet is hot, place the ribeye steaks in the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.
  5. Carefully flip the steaks using tongs. Add butter to the skillet and baste the steaks with the melted butter. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and cover them loosely with foil. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Slice the ribeye against the grain and serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty finish.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, let the steaks marinate longer if possible.
  • Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness; 130°F for medium-rare.
  • Experiment with different herbs for varied flavor profiles.
