Ingredients

  • 1 pkg ButcherBox Ribeye Steak
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic slice, medium thickness
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

  • Place frozen packaged steak in a bowl of cool running water for 15 minutes or until defrosted.
  • Preheat pan on medium-high heat.
  • Season steak with salt and pepper.
  • Add oil to hot pan and sear steak on one side for 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip steak over and sear for 1 minute.
  • Add garlic and butter to pan. Wait for butter to melt and foam, then spoon over steak for 1 minute.
  • Let steak cook until desired temperature is reached, flipping every minute or so.
  • Let steak rest for 5-8 minutes be for slicing.
  • 6 minute total time will give you a nice medium rare for grass-fed ribeyes less than ¾ of an inch thick.

Notes

For Grain-Finished Steaks:
When pan searing, grilling, or any other direct heat method; increase the cook time by 1-2 minutes depending on your desired temperature. The grain finished beef has more intramuscular fat in it, which insulates the meat from the heat. Therefore you need to cook the grain finished ribeyes slightly longer than the grass fed equivalent.
