Pan-Seared Ribeye Steak with Garlic Herb Butter

1. Pat dry and season your steak generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
2. Get your pan hot (a cast iron skillet is recommended for steaks) over high heat, then add in some neutral oil.
3. Carefully add your seasoned steak to the hot pan, laying it away from you to prevent oil from splashing.
4. After about 2 minutes, your steak should have developed a beautiful sear. Flip the steak to the other side.
5. Immediately add butter along with other aromatics like fresh rosemary and garlic cloves to the pan.
6. Once the butter melts and becomes foamy, start basting your steak continuously with the butter and aromatics for another 1 1/2 minutes. After basting, remove the steak from the heat.
7. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing into it. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
