This recipe delivers a juicy, tender ribeye steak with a crispy crust using the reverse sear method, topped with a luscious garlic herb butter for an irresistible finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut ribeye steak (1.5 to 2 inches thick, 12–16 oz / 340–450 g)
  • Kosher or sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (for the butter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Season the ribeye generously on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  3. Place the steak on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Insert an instant-read thermometer probe into the thickest part of the steak if available.
  4. Slow roast the steak in the oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 115°F (46°C) for medium-rare, about 30-40 minutes depending on thickness.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the garlic herb butter by mixing softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, lemon zest (if using), and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes while heating a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot.
  7. Sear the steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side, pressing lightly to ensure full contact with the pan. Also sear the edges if the steak is thick.
  8. Remove the steak from the pan and immediately top with a generous dollop of garlic herb butter. Let it rest for another 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a reliable instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. Let the steak rest after roasting and after searing to lock in juices. If you don’t have a wire rack, use a cooling rack on a baking sheet. Season cast iron skillet regularly for best searing results. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or garlic-infused olive oil.
