Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 steaks ribeye steak
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted European butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic cloves
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Method
 

  1. The ribeye steak is coated with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and then the surface looks slightly textured and speckled as seasoning sticks to the raw meat.

  2. The ribeye steak begins to change color and then the surface develops a deep brown crust while edges tighten slightly showing a clear transformation from raw to seared.

  3. Unsalted European butter melts and then fresh garlic cloves soften and release aroma while rosemary sprigs wilt slightly and everything coats the steak in a glossy layer.

  4. The steak deepens in color and then juices collect around it while garlic pieces turn lightly golden and rosemary looks darker and softened creating a finished appearance.

Notes

If you’re looking for a Garlic Butter Steak with big buttery flavour in every bite you’ve found it! Taking pride of place in my dinner collection this has rich garlic butter melted right throughout the juicy steak and extra butter swished over the top. The perfect balance of rich and savory and comforting.
The best feature are the golden edges that open up into juicy centers. Watch everyone fight for the pieces with the MOST sear because the edges hold all the flavor!
