Garlic herb butter steak is a delectable dish that’s both simple and luxurious. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks (or any other preferred cut)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley), finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
- Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped herbs until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and cook to your desired level of doneness, flipping once halfway through cooking. This will depend on the thickness of your steaks and your preference for doneness. For medium-rare, it usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick steak.
- As the steaks cook, spoon some of the garlic herb butter over the top of each steak. This will infuse the steaks with flavor and help them develop a delicious crust.
- Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes on a cutting board.
- While the steaks are resting, add any remaining garlic herb butter to the skillet and melt it over low heat. This will create a delicious sauce to drizzle over the steaks.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately, drizzling with the garlic herb butter sauce.
Enjoy your garlic herb butter steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
