Print Recipe

This recipe uses the reverse sear method to cook a ribeye steak low and slow before searing it to create a perfect crust, finished with a rich garlic herb butter for a juicy, flavorful steak.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak (1.5 to 2-inch thick, about 12–16 ounces / 340–450 grams), well-marbled
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (neutral or light, high smoke point)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. Generously season both sides of the ribeye with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Stir until well combined and set aside or refrigerate.
  4. Place the ribeye on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak.
  5. Bake the steak for 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 110°F (43°C) for medium-rare.
  6. While the steak is in the oven, preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add olive oil, swirling to coat the pan.
  7. Transfer the steak immediately to the hot skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until a deep, golden-brown crust forms.
  8. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Spread a generous dollop of garlic herb butter over the steak while resting, allowing it to melt.
  10. Slice the ribeye against the grain into thick slices and serve.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Let the steak rest after searing to redistribute juices. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan during searing. Reheat leftovers gently in a low oven with extra garlic herb butter to keep moist.
