👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Take the rib-eye steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before searing.
  2. 2
    Sprinkle the coarse salt and black pepper generously over both sides of the rib-eye steaks.
  3. 3
    Heat a heavy pan over very high heat, until it starts to smoke, and add the olive oil.

  4. 4
    Sear the rib-eye steaks 2–3 minutes per side.
    Stove
    💡Don't move the meat until the underside is browned: it releases from the pan on its own, and the crust stays on it.
  5. 5
    Add the butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the rib-eye steaks again and again, until the garlic is golden.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Let rest 5 minutes and slice against the grain.
    KnifeCutting board
    💡Flank and other fibrous cuts are sliced thinly against the grain: that way each slice is short and tender, not chewy like rubber.
