1. Prepare the Steaks:
• Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
2. Preheat the Oven:
• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Season the Steaks:
• Pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
• Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
4. Sear the Steaks:
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
• Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
5. Add Flavors:
• Add the minced garlic, unsalted butter, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.
• Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs.
6. Finish in the Oven:
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
7. Rest the Steaks:
• Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a cutting board.
• Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve:
• Serve the ribeye steaks with the garlic herb butter drizzled on top. Enjoy!
