Ingredients
2 large ribeye or strip steaks
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper
3 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp fresh rosemary

For the herb sauce:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp capers
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Start by bringing the steaks to room temperature and seasoning generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Place the steaks in the pan and sear for about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until a deep crust forms.

Reduce the heat slightly, add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks continuously for 1–2 minutes to enhance flavor.

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5–10 minutes to keep the juices inside.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, parsley, capers, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to create the herb sauce.

Slice the steak and drizzle the herb sauce over the top before serving.

Serving

Serve with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. It’s perfect for a hearty dinner or special occasion.

Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently or enjoy cold in sandwiches or salads.
