Ingredients
- Steak
- 2 (your choice of cuts, such as ribeye or sirloin)
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, freshly cracked
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons
Instructions
- Start by preparing your steak: season both sides generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Allow it to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
- Add the finely chopped rosemary and minced garlic to the melted butter. Stir well to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic to soften and become fragrant while the rosemary infuses the butter.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the sauce cools, grill or pan-sear the steaks according to your desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
- Once the steaks are cooked, transfer them to a plate and pour the rosemary butter sauce generously over the steaks.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to ensure juiciness before slicing.
- Serve the steaks with additional rosemary butter sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice to the butter sauce.
- Feel free to use other herbs, such as thyme or parsley, in place of rosemary for a different flavor profile.
- Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or a simple arugula salad for a complete meal.
