Print Recipe

A foolproof recipe for a juicy, flavorful ribeye steak using the reverse sear method and topped with a rich herb butter. Perfect for a steakhouse-quality meal at home in about 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak (1.5 to 2 inches thick, about 16 ounces / 450 grams), well-marbled
  • Kosher salt or sea salt, generously for seasoning
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons (about 60 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, for searing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. Season the ribeye generously on all sides with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. Place the steak on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Insert an instant-read thermometer probe into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding bone or fat.
  4. Slow roast the steak in the oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare, about 30-40 minutes. Start checking at 25 minutes.
  5. While the steak roasts, prepare the herb butter by mixing softened butter with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme in a small bowl. Set aside at room temperature.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
  7. Sear the ribeye for 1-2 minutes per side, including the edges, until a dark brown crust forms.
  8. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Top the steak with a generous dollop of the herb butter while still warm and serve.

Notes

Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a good crust. Use an instant-read thermometer for consistent results. Rest the steak after searing to keep it juicy. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based butter and olive oil with coconut oil.
