A restaurant-quality ribeye steak cooked with garlic herb butter and topped with crispy shallots, delivering rich, savory flavors and a satisfying crunch in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick-cut ribeye steak (around 12 oz / 340 g), preferably well-marbled
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 60 g), softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • Coarse sea salt or kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Remove the ribeye from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of lemon zest if using. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a small pan. Add the thinly sliced shallots in a single layer and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, then place the ribeye in the pan. Sear for about 3-4 minutes without moving to develop a deep crust. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp around 130°F / 54°C). Adjust timing for preferred doneness.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low. Add the garlic herb butter to the pan and let it melt. Spoon the melted butter over the steak repeatedly for about 1-2 minutes to infuse flavor.
  6. Transfer the ribeye to a warm plate and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  7. Slice the ribeye against the grain, top with remaining garlic herb butter, and sprinkle crispy shallots generously over the steak. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a good sear. Bring steak to room temperature before cooking. Use tongs to flip steak to avoid piercing and losing juices. Rest steak after cooking to redistribute juices. Fry shallots carefully to avoid burning.
