With this easy recipe, you can forget the expensive restaurants and pull out all the stops for a romantic evening at home. Seared steak poached with butter, seasoned with garlic and herbs; the only thing to make this better is being done in 25 minutes start to finish.Pan-seared ribeye is a recipe you’ll fall in love with. An incredibly decadent and lovely end result that should take you hours to do, yet only requires 10 minutes of prep and cooking. In the post below you’ll find all the tips and tricks to make sure your steak is seared to perfection, full of flavor, moist, and tender. Then, watch the video as I invite you into my kitchen to cook this along with me.Each cut of beef lends itself well to different styles of cooking and recipes. For the best steakhouse steak to wow your partner with, a T-bone, ribeye, or filet are the cuts you want to seek out from your local butcher.Ideally, you want your steak to be an inch and a half thick with a generous amount of marbling. Marbling is exactly what it sounds like. Your steak should be a bright red and pink, broken up by strands of white fat. The white throughout the meat is called marbling. A sign of a fresh, good steak is a bright color, loads of marbling (more common in the ribeye), and fresh in smell. Fresh meat should never have a smell. If it smells like anything, toss it out.Stores will often have deals on less desirable cuts of meat or those that are unevenly sliced. An end cut simply equates to more fat. You’ll typically see a large white piece of fat on the outer side of the steak.Steak can be chewy if it is old, sliced incorrectly, or over cooked.No, not bad at all! To get a great sear on your steak you want your pan to be “smoking hot.” You don’t want to burn the oil though. This can happen by getting your pan too hot too quickly or using the wrong kind of oil. Pro Tip: Get a dry skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat to the smoking point first, then coat with oil and lay your seasoned steak into the skillet.The perfect temperature for cooking a steak is dependent on both the skillet and the steak itself. However, generally speaking you’ll want to aim for 475F. Make sure your steak rests at room temperature 10-20 minutes before cooking. This will ensure that the steak cooks evenly. Otherwise, you risk overcooking the outside and the inside still being cold. The skillet should be hot to the point of just starting to smoke. Wait until the skillet has started to smoke before putting in your oil so it does not burn the oil in the process. By an infrared thermometer, the smoking point of a dry skillet is typically 475F.Searing a steak locks the spices onto your meat, provides texture to the outside and helps to build all-around flavor.No, that is actually a myth. Alton Brown did an experiment that proved more liquid was lost during searing versus only oven cooking. And I would trust just about anything he has to say on food.One is for color the other is for flavor, both with different smoking points. As mentioned before, all oils have a different smoking point. Each also has a different flavor. When using true, good olive oil, one can even taste a difference between regular olive oil and extra virgin olive oil. For steaks, use traditional olive oil and the highest quality of grass-fed butter you can find.To keep a steak moist and tender, cut the steak at an angle into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch strips in thickness and always slice against the grain. Cut too thin and it will cool off too quickly, lose juices (aka flavor), and become tough.After flipping the steak to the second side to sear, add your arowmatics – situating the garlic and rosemary above the steak and furthest away from you in the skillet. Add 4 Tablespoons of butter to the skillet and tilt slightly towards you. Use a spoon to catch the butter that pools at the bottom of the skillet and baste over the herbs and your steak. As the butter cooks in the skillet it will become brown and slightly nutty. This is pure magic.You cannot go wrong with steak and potatoes. Balance out this hearty dish with a side salad, some fresh chimichurri sauce, roasted asparagus, or pan-fried brussels sprouts. If you have leftovers, be sure to save it for steak and eggs in the morning.PrintPinRateShare it with me on Instagram @castironrecipesofficial and follow on Youtube @Cast Iron Recipes and Pinterest @castironrecipes for more!Rate this RecipePin RecipeShare RecipeSubscribe to the newsletter for all the latest scratch-made and family-friendly recipesLove this recipe?
