Ingredients

  • 4 Ribeye Steaks
  • AM Salt
  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 8 Whole Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 Cup Salted Butter

Instructions

  • Pull out steaks 1-2 hours before you want to cook them.
  • Generously sprinkle both sides of steak with salt blend.
  • Let them stay on the counter for 1-2 hours uncovered.
  • Heat up a stainless steel pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add 2 TBSP olive oil in pan and place in steaks.
  • Once sprinkled in water immediately balls up and vigorously moves around the pan, you're ready to add in 2 tablespoon oil.
  • Heat until oil is shimmery.
  • Carefully place each steak down away from you so not to get splattered by hot oil.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on one side. Do not touch or move it the
  • Flip and add in butter and garlic.
  • Cook for another 5 minutes and baste with melted butter.
  • Start checking internal temperature. You are looking for 140-145 for medium well.
  • Flip the steak a few times to ensure even cooking and keep basting with butter.
  • If you find your butter is starting to burn, turn down your heat a little.
  • Once your steak is up to temp, remove it to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • With the heat over medium, pour in about 1/4-1/2 cup of water into the hot pan and immediately start scraping up the brown bits creating a little butter sauce to pour over the steak.
