Serves 2 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes
2 rib eye steaks (or NY Strip or even fillet!)
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 T olive oil
3 T butter, unsalted
1 sprig fresh rosemary (or if you forget the fresh herbs at the store because your 1 year old was screaming and you had to get out dried will do in a pinch)
2 sprigs fresh thyme (uh, ditto)
S&P
I threw a little truffle salt on mine too. YUM!!!
Preheat the oven to 350. In a cast iron skillet heat your olive oil over medium high heat. (NOTEWORTHY NUGGET – when heating a cast iron skillet (or any skillet for that matter) over high heat, don’t walk away to help your kids figure out the Spongebob Squarepants Wii game for 10 minutes. This will surely set off the smoke alarm and wake up the baby…I’m just saying.)
Season both sides of your steaks with S&P and truffle salt if it’s laying around.
When the cast iron skillet is good and hot (and it’s the 2nd time you’ve done this since the first time the Shelton Volunteer Fire Department almost had to come and desmoke your downstairs) lay your steaks in to sizzle.
After about 3-4 minutes the first side should be nice and brown. Flip ‘em over and add your butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan. While the butter melts douse the top of the steaks with the melty garlicky herby butter and then toss them into the oven for 10 minutes.
Serve with Oven Roasted Potatoes and a nice salad. Light a fire, cozy up and enjoy a date night!!!
