A simple and foolproof method to cook a juicy, tender ribeye steak with a perfect crust using the sheet pan reverse sear technique, finished with flavorful garlic herb butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak (1 to 1.5 inches thick, about 12 oz / 340 g), well-marbled
  • Kosher salt, for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning just before searing
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • Lemon zest from half a lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels to remove moisture. Season generously on both sides with kosher salt. Let rest at room temperature for 30-40 minutes.
  3. Place the steak on a wire rack set inside a rimmed sheet pan to allow air circulation.
  4. Roast the steak in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches about 115°F (46°C) for medium-rare. Use an instant-read thermometer to check.
  5. While the steak roasts, prepare the garlic herb butter by combining softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and let it shimmer but not smoke.
  7. Remove the steak from the oven and immediately season with freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side until a deep brown crust forms. Do not move the steak while searing.
  9. During the last 30 seconds of searing, add a tablespoon of garlic herb butter to the pan and baste the steak by spooning the melted butter over it repeatedly.
  10. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  11. Top the steak with a generous dollop of the remaining garlic herb butter before serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for best results to avoid overcooking. Let the steak rest after searing to keep it juicy. If fresh herbs are unavailable, dried herbs can be used at one-third the amount. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan butter or ghee. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent toughening the meat.
