GARLIC BUTTER STEAK RECIPE BY TASTY



Garlic Butter Steak Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: ribeye steak, salt, pepper, canola oil, butter, garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h8m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ribeye steak, 2 inch (5 cm) thick, preferably USDA Prime
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C).
  • Generously season all sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, then bake for about 45 minutes to an hour until the internal temperature reads about 125°F (51° C) for medium-rare. Adjust the bake time based on if you like your steak more rare or more well-done (you monster).
  • Heat the canola oil in a pan over high heat until smoking. Do not use olive oil, as its smoke point is significantly lower than that of canola oil and will smoke before reaching the desired cooking temperature.
  • Sear the steak for 30 seconds on the first side, then flip.
  • Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme and swirl around the pan.
  • Transfer the garlic and herbs on top of the steak and baste the steak with the butter using a large spoon.
  • Baste for about 30 seconds, then flip and baste the other side for about 15 seconds.
  • Turn the steak on its side and cook to render off any excess fat.
  • Rest the steak on a cutting board or wire rack for about 10 minutes. Slicing the steak before the resting period has finished will result in a lot of the juices leaking out, which may not be desirable.
  • Slice the steak into ½ -inch (1 cm) strips, then fan out the slices and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is juicy and flavorful.
  • Season the steak: Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the steak.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Cook the steak over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients to make your steak butter, such as unsalted butter, fresh herbs, and garlic. This will ensure that your steak butter is flavorful and delicious.

Conclusion:

Steak butter is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your steak. It is also a great way to use up leftover herbs and garlic. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a steak butter that will elevate your steak to the next level.
