Ingredients
  

For the steak
  • 2 Ribeye Steaks (1.5″ thick, bone-in)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter For topping
  • 1 tsp Thyme (dried)
  • 1 tsp Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pull the steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
  2. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
  3. In a bowl, combine the dry seasonings: thyme, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear. Rub all sides of the steaks with the seasoning mixture.
Cooking
  1. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Once it’s very hot, carefully add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  2. Sear the steaks for 30 seconds on each side. You want them to develop a nice, flavorful crust.
  3. Place a 1/2 tablespoon slice of butter on top of each steak.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook for about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the center of the steak. When it reaches 125 degrees, pull the steak out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Slice the steak and serve it with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

Let the steak come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Rest the steak before slicing to retain its juices, ensuring each bite is tender and juicy. Adjust the seasoning to your taste; add more garlic powder or herbs if you love that flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
