Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or other high smoke point oil
- 2 12 ounce ribeye steaks
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup compound butter
Instructions
- Add oil to a 12-inch cast iron skillet and preheat to 450 degrees F. On most stoves, this is medium high heat. The oil should be just barely smoking.
- Pat both sides of the ribeye dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Set a timer for 5 minutes, and move one of the steaks to the pan. Flip repeatedly, every 20-30 seconds, for 5 minutes.
- With one minute left in cooking, add 1 tablespoon of compound or regular butter to the pan and spoon over steak.
- Once the 5 minutes are up, remove from the heat and cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes to rest before cutting.
- Optional: serve with more compound butter.

Notes
- I'm using my homemade garlic herb compound butter for this recipe, but you can use plain salted butter if you're not a fan of compound butter.
- A well-seasoned 12-inch cast iron is the best option for this recipe. However, if you do not have a cast iron skillet, you can use any skillet that can handle high heat - 450 degrees F- in its place.
