Instructions
- 1. Remove the ribeyes from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking so they warm slightly while you preheat the oven to 250°F.
- 2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
- 3. Place the steaks on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and roast until the internal temperature reaches 120°F for medium-rare, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- 4. Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes while you heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- 5. Add the plain olive oil to the hot skillet, then sear the steaks for 45 to 60 seconds per side until a deep brown crust forms.
- 6. Add the butter, garlic, and thyme to the skillet, spooning the melted butter over the steaks for the last 30 seconds of searing.
- 7. Transfer the steaks to a plate, brush the tops with Steakhouse Infused Olive Oil Blend, and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- 8. Slice and serve right away with any pan drippings spooned over the top.
Notes
For the best crust, make sure the skillet is fully hot before the steak goes in. A thicker ribeye gives you a better margin for the reverse-sear method. Resting before and after the sear helps the steak stay juicy and slice cleanly. Brush on the blend after searing so the flavor stays bright and aromatic.
