Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 ribeye steaks about 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Fresh rosemary optional, for garnish

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Rub both sides with olive oil and season liberally with salt and black pepper.
  3. Preheat your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot.
  4. Place the steaks in the hot skillet and let them sear without moving them for about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip the steaks using tongs and add the minced garlic to the pan.
  6. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, checking the internal temperature.
  7. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
  8. Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board.
  9. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute the juices.
  10. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with fresh rosemary as a garnish.
