Ingredients

  • 2 beef steaks 1 inch thick (t-bone or ribeye are favorites)
  • 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • 1 clove of garlic crushed
  • fresh Rosemary
  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Allow steaks to sit out for 30 minutes prior to cooking. They need to be at room temperature for the perfect flavor.
  2. Season steak with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat a cast iron pan on the stove until it begins to smoke. Add in olive oil and allow that to get hot as well.
  3. Place steaks in hot pan with the rosemary and garlic. Sear for about 2-3 minutes then flip. 
  4. Slide the cast iron pan in the preheated oven and cook for about 11-13 minutes. Or until the steak has reached an internal temperature of 130 degrees when checked with an instant read thermometer. 
  5. Remove steaks from oven and transfer them from the hot pan to a prepared cutting board and immediately top each with 1 tablespoon butter and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • The steak will continue to rise in temperature as it rests by about 5 degrees, so if you are looking for a more rare cook, remove them from the oven 5 degrees sooner than 130 degrees.
