Print Recipe

A simple and reliable method to cook a juicy, tender ribeye steak with a flavorful garlic butter crust using the reverse-sear technique.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut ribeye steak (1 to 1.5 inches thick, 12–16 oz / 340–450 g)
  • Kosher or sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Place the steak on a wire rack over a baking sheet and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches about 115°F (46°C) for medium-rare, approximately 20-30 minutes depending on thickness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive or avocado oil. When the oil starts to smoke, sear the steak for 1-2 minutes on each side until a deep brown crust forms.
  5. Lower the heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, and thyme or rosemary sprigs to the pan. Continuously spoon the melted garlic butter over the steak for about 1 minute. Remove the steak and rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Rest the steak for 5-10 minutes after searing to allow juices to redistribute. Use a reliable instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. If butter browns too quickly during basting, reduce heat to prevent bitterness. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan margarine or olive oil and increase garlic for flavor.
