Butter-Basted Ribeye Steaks
4 servings
25 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 2 (1-inch-thick) bone-in ribeye steaks (about 2 lb total)
  • Cooking spray
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps

    1. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Coat steaks with spray and pepper, then place in pan (wash hands); sear 2–3 minutes on each side until browned, then remove steaks from pan.
    2. Return pan to heat on medium; smash garlic cloves. Add butter, rosemary, and garlic to pan; cook 1 minute. Move rosemary and garlic to edge of pan, then return steaks to pan; cook 3–5 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with butter mixture, until steaks are 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done).
    3. Transfer steaks to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time. Sprinkle steaks with salt; serve with remaining butter mixture.
Other Preparation Methods
    • Grill: Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high. Coat 1 ½ lb bone-in ribeye steaks with ¼ cup ginger dressing (wash hands); let stand 10 minutes (or chill overnight) to marinate. Coat with spray; grill 3–4 minutes on each side until grill-marked and 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
    • Broil: Place oven rack 6 inches from heat and preheat oven to broil on HIGH. Peel 1 kiwifruit and smash into paste. Coat 1 ½ lb bone-in ribeye steaks with kiwi paste, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper (wash hands); let stand 10 minutes to marinate. Place steaks on nonstick foil–lined baking sheet; broil 6–8 minutes until 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steak, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.
