Ingredients
- 4 (16-ounce) rib-eyes, each about 1 1/2-inches thick
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 4 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
Directions
Season the steaks evenly on all sides with the kosher salt and let come to room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of the butter and the steaks and cook, undisturbed, for 6 minutes, or until well-browned on the first side. Turn the steaks over and top each steak with 1 tablespoon of the garlic and 2 teaspoons of the remaining butter. Continue to cook the steaks on the second side for 5 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the pan from the heat, tilt the pan slightly and remove some of the excess rendered fat from the pan, turn steaks briefly so that the garlic and butter are in the pan, and allow steaks to sit for 15 seconds. Transfer the steaks to a platter and pour the garlic-butter drippings over the steaks. Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Slice the steaks thinly and serve, with the pan drippings drizzled over the meat.

Our local supermarket had a sale on rib eye, so I splurged and being a butter lover, was drawn to this recipe. It is simple, fast and fantastic! I am shocked it doesn't have more feedback associated with it.
Try this, you will not be disappointed!
The only change I made to the recipe was my use of jarred chopped roasted garlic rather than fresh. For $3 a jar, you cant beat it.

I was a little concerned at first because the butter was burning, but it ended up being delicious! I'm going to make this for my boyfriend this weekend. :

Used the Bobby Flay Mesa rub on the steaks and let them sit for 1/2 hour then used this recipe. Best steaks Ive had in years!
