Ingredients

▢ 2 (12 to 16 ounce) ribeye steaks
▢ 3 tablespoons salted butter
▢ 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
▢ 3 teaspoons kosher salt
▢ 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
▢ 2 sprigs rosemary

Instructions

Generously season all sides of the ribeyes with salt and pepper. To tenderize place in an air-tight plastic bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, up to 48 hours.
Remove steaks from the refrigerator 45 minutes before cooking so they come to room temperature.
Preheat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter and heat to just smoking.
Once the oil and butter just start to smoke, add steaks and work in the rosemary sprigs around the ribeyes.
Add steaks to the hot pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 125 to 130 degrees F.
Remove ribeyes from the heat and place them on a clean plate or cutting board. Cover will foil and let rest 5 to 6 minutes. The temperature will continue to increase a few degrees reaching medium-rare (130 to 135 degrees F)

TOP TIPS: Remember to watch your heat when searing your steak. You want to maintain that sizzle throughout the cooking process, this is usually medium-high heat but every store is different; Make sure you pull your steaks out of the refrigerator 45 minutes prior to cooking so they can come to room temperature; Pull steaks off the heat 5 degrees cooler than your desired temperature, let rest and the temperature will continue to increase.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with a side of steamed or roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad. If desired, top with blue cheese sauce, roasted chili corn salsa, herbed steak butter, or cheese crumbles like feta or goat cheese.
