Print Recipe

This recipe uses the reverse sear method to cook ribeye steak slowly in the oven before finishing with a quick sear, resulting in a juicy, evenly cooked steak topped with a flavorful herb butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak, 1 to 1.5 inches thick (12–16 oz)
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or high smoke point oil like avocado or grape seed oil)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  3. Place the steak on an oven-safe wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cook in the oven until the internal temperature reaches about 115°F (46°C) for medium-rare, about 20 to 30 minutes depending on thickness.
  4. While the steak cooks, prepare the herb butter by combining softened butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside at room temperature.
  5. Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes.
  7. Sear the ribeye for 1-2 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Use tongs to sear the edges quickly as well.
  8. Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a plate. Immediately top with a generous dollop of herb butter and let it melt over the warm meat.
  9. Let the steak rest for another 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a good crust. Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. Rest the steak twice to lock in juices. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or coconut oil. Herb butter can be customized with different herbs or additions like smoked paprika or lemon juice.
