Equipment

  • Meat thermometer
  • oven safe pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large bone-in ribeye steak 1½ inches thick
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste, season as appropriate
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 4-5 sprigs thyme
  • 3 tablespoon butter

Instructions
 

  • Bring the ribeye steaks to room temperature and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Season both sides of the steaks liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil. Sear the ribeye on each side for 2-3 minutes until a golden crust forms.
  • In the last minute of searing, add garlic, thyme, and butter to the pan. Baste the steaks with the infused flavors. Make sure you check the temperature to know when to take the steak off. For medium rare you want to take it out of the pan at 125℉.
  • If needed, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for additional cooking to reach your preferred doneness.
  • Let the ribeyes rest for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices and serve.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of the steaks and personal preference for doneness.
  • Ensure the pan is hot for a good sear, and use an oven mitt when transferring the skillet to the oven.
  • Experiment with different herbs or a sprinkle of finishing salt for added flair. Enjoy your perfectly seared bone-in ribeye!
