Pan Seared Steak with Garlic Butter

Print Recipe

A simple yet elegant dish featuring perfectly cooked steak with rich garlic butter for a mouthwatering experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steaks: Take the steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows them to come to room temperature. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add vegetable oil. Ensure it is hot but not smoking.
  3. Sear the steaks: Carefully place seasoned steaks in the pan. Let them sear for about 4-5 minutes until golden-brown crust forms.
  4. Flip and add flavor: Use tongs to flip the steaks. Add butter and minced garlic. Baste the steaks with melted garlic butter.
  5. Finish cooking: Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Internal temperature should be 130-135°F for medium-rare.
  6. Rest and serve: Remove steaks from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle with garlic butter and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. For elegant presentation, slice steak against the grain.
