Bring the steak to room temperature for about 30 minutes before beginning.
2 (1-inch thick) boneless ribeye steaks
Heat a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
Season the steak well with plenty of salt and a couple pinches of pepper.
1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
When the skillet is very hot, add in the oil. Then, place the steaks in the pan.
1½ tablespoons canola oil
Let them cook for 3-4 minutes to create the initial sear.
Then, flip it and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness. For best results, use a meat thermometer to verify that the steak has cooked to the temperature of your desired level of doneness.
Top each steak with 1 tablespoon of butter and a sprinkle of minced garlic and rosemary, if desired.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 cloves garlic, Chopped fresh rosemary
Transfer the steak to a plate or cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
