This recipe uses the reverse sear method to create a juicy ribeye steak with a perfect crust, topped with a rich garlic herb butter for an indulgent yet simple steakhouse experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut ribeye steak, about 1.5 to 2 inches thick (12–16 oz or 340-450g)
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, coarse grind
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon each of fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for searing
  • Optional: fresh lemon juice or smoked paprika for a subtle twist

Instructions

  1. Remove ribeye from fridge 30-45 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  3. Pat steak dry with paper towels and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  4. Place steak on a wire rack over a baking sheet and put in the middle rack of the oven.
  5. Slow roast steak until internal temperature reaches about 110°F (43°C) for medium-rare, approximately 20-30 minutes depending on thickness.
  6. While steak roasts, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped herbs in a bowl and set aside at room temperature.
  7. About 5 minutes before steak finishes roasting, heat cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat.
  8. Transfer steak from oven to skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms, including edges.
  9. Transfer steak to cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  10. Spoon garlic herb butter over warm steak just before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Let steak rest after searing to keep it juicy. If steak finishes roasting early, keep it in the oven but monitor temperature closely. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based spread. Avoid overcrowding pan when searing multiple steaks.
