Ingredients

  • 2 ButcherBox Ribeye Steaks

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 shallots (optional) substitute: ¼ of onion
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme (optional) substitute: any fresh herbs

Instructions

  • Turn exhaust fan on high, or open a window. Searing steaks properly can get a little smoky. 
  • Preheat pan on medium-high heat.
  • Season steaks liberally with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
  • When butter begins to brown, add steaks, and press gently on the steak with the tongs to ensure good contact with the pan.
  • Sear steaks on one side for 2 to 3 minutes or until a nice crust develops.  
  • While steaks are searing, smash garlic and rough chop shallots.  
  • Flip steaks and sear for one minute. 
  • Add garlic, shallots, and thyme.
  • Using your spoon, baste steaks with butter, garlic, shallots, and thyme for about one minute.  
  • Remove steaks they reach an internal temperature of 125°F (for medium-rare steaks) and set aside for 8-10 minutes.
