Here’s a simple recipe for Garlic Herb Steak:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the steak: Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme).
- Heat the skillet: In a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
- Cook the steak: Add the steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time depending on your desired doneness (4 minutes for rare, 6-7 for medium). If you have a thicker steak, you may need a bit more time.
- Add butter: For extra richness, add a tablespoon of butter during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt over the steak.
- Rest the steak: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to lock in the juices.
- Serve: Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
This recipe gives you a beautifully flavorful steak with a garlic and herb aroma, perfect for any meal!
