Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 ribeye steaks about 1 inch thick
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Tongs
  • Meat thermometer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife

Method
 

  1. Bring the steaks to room temperature, about 30 minutes before cooking.
  2. Season both sides of the steaks evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, cooking until shimmering.
  4. Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the whole milk, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Cook the steaks in the milk sauce until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, about 3-5 minutes more.
  7. In the last minute of cooking, stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is glossy.
  8. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.

Notes

Always let your steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
