Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet:
- Kitchen tongs
- SpoonÂ
- Meat thermometer
- Cutting Board
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 2 units Steak Ribeye or Sirloin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 sprigs Thyme
- 1 sprig Rosemary
Instructions
1. Prepare the Meat
- Take the steak out of the fridge early. Let it reach room temperature for thirty minutes. Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Dry meat sears much better than wet meat.
2. Season Heavily
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides. Do not forget to season the fatty edges. Press the spices into the meat firmly. This creates the famous Gordon Ramsay crust.
3. Heat the Pan
- Place your skillet on high heat. Add olive oil when the pan is smoking. The oil must be very hot first. Lay the steak away from your body.
4. The First Sear
- Let the steak sit for two minutes. Do not move it around the pan. Flip the steak to the other side. You should see a deep brown color.
5. Add the Flavor
- Turn the heat down to medium. Add the butter, garlic, and fresh herbs. The butter will bubble and turn brown quickly.
6. Baste the Steak
- Tilt the pan toward your body. Use a spoon to pour butter over steak. Do this for the last three minutes. This keeps the meat very moist.
7. Resting Time
- Remove the steak from the hot pan. Place it on a clean cutting board. Let it rest for five full minutes. Resting keeps the juices inside the meat.
Notes
➡️ Always use a very hot cast iron pan.
➡️ Pat the meat dry before adding any spices.
➡️ Season the steak right before you cook it.
➡️ Use plenty of butter for the basting step.
➡️ Do not flip the meat too many times.
➡️ Let the steak rest before you slice it.
➡️ Use fresh herbs instead of dried ones.
➡️ Add garlic cloves with the skin still on.
➡️ Check the temperature for your perfect doneness.
