- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
For the Garlic Butter
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter at room temperature
- 3 Cloves Garlic minced (especially wonderful if you use roasted garlic)
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- To make the garlic steak butter, combine butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Transfer the mixture to parchment paper; shape into a log. Roll in parchment to 1 ½ inches in diameter, twisting the ends to close. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 week.1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, 3 Cloves Garlic, 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper, 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- Preheat oven to broil. Place an oven-proof skillet, we prefer to use our Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, in the oven.
- Using paper towels, pat both sides of the steak dry. This is essential to get a nice caramelization on the steak. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper evenly to taste.3 Rib-Eye Steaks, 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Remove the skillet from the oven and heat over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
- Once the pan is hot, place the steak in the middle of the skillet and cook until a dark crust has formed, about 1 minute. Using tongs, flip, and cook for an additional 60 seconds.
- Remove the skillet from the stove.
- Place your skillet into the oven and cook until desired doneness is reached, about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, flipping once. Let rest for 3-5 minutes, tented, not wrapped with foil.
- Serve immediately with a slice of garlic butter.

Notes
Steaks can be tricky to buy. The ribeye is one of the most flavorful cuts of steak, however a filet, New York or T-bone would work as well.
To reheat, place leftover steaks on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and warm them on the middle rack of a 250-degree oven for about 30 minutes.
