How to nail the perfect Butter Basted Steak


  • Author: Jess Pryles

Ingredients

Scale

1 thick ribeye steak

kosher salt

34 tablespoons quality salted butter

2 sprigs of fresh rosemary

2 springs of fresh thyme

34 peeled whole garlic cloves


Instructions

  1. Take the steak out of the fridge 30 mins before cooking, and pat the surface dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt right before you’re ready to put it in the pan.
  2. Heat a skillet/pan over SUPER high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the steak, and begin to cook by flipping every 30 seconds. Continue to flip until the steak is 20-30 degrees from your preferred doneness (see doneness chart above).
  3. Add the butter, garlic and herbs to the pan. Gently tilting the pan to one side, use a long handled large spoon to baste the foaming butter over the steak. Remember to continue to flip it, otherwise it may overcook on one side.
  4. Once your steak hits desired internal temperature, remove it from the pan then rest for 10 minutes before enjoying.
