  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 lb ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch medallions

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed/pressed

Cooking Fats

  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Cut the ribeye steak into 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking and a tender bite.
  2. Season the Steak: Generously season the steak chunks with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, coating each piece evenly for maximum flavor.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly, indicating it’s ready for searing.
  4. Sear the Steak: Add 3 tablespoons of avocado oil to the hot skillet. Place the steak chunks in the skillet, avoiding overcrowding by cooking in batches if necessary. Stir and sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides.
  5. Add Herb Butter and Aromatics: Reduce the heat slightly and add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, along with the freshly chopped 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, 1/2 tablespoon thyme, and 4 crushed garlic cloves to the pan.
  6. Baste the Steak: Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to scoop the melted herb and garlic butter, continuously basting the steak medallions for about 1 minute. This adds additional flavor and moisture.
  7. Serve Warm: Once the steak is cooked to your liking and well basted, remove from heat and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skillet; sear the steak in batches if needed.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet for optimal heat retention and a perfect sear.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on steak thickness and preferred doneness.
  • Fresh herbs provide the best flavor but dried can be substituted in a pinch (use about 1/3 the amount).
  • Rest the steak medallions for a few minutes after cooking if desired to retain juices.
