Prepare The Steak: Start by patting the ribeye slices dry with paper towels. This is an essential step in getting a nice sear. Season both sides generously with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat The Pan: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan once it is heated. You want the oil to shimmer, but not smoke.
Sear The Steak: Carefully lay the ribeye slices in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. Remember, thin slices cook quickly, so keep a close eye on them!
Add Butter And Aromatics: Once the steak is seared, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan. As the butter melts, spoon it over the steaks, basting them with the flavorful mixture. This step adds richness and depth to the steak.
Finish And Rest: After about 2-3 minutes, or when the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the pan. Let the steak rest on a cutting board for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve And Enjoy: Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Pair it with your favorite sides or enjoy it on its own for a simple, yet satisfying meal.
