Ingredients

  • 4 pieces of 8-ounce boneless ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Flaky sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
  4. Place the steaks in the skillet, leaving space between them. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steaks.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, add the ghee, crushed garlic, and rosemary to the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted ghee and aromatics.
  6. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before serving.
