Craving that juicy, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth steak with a golden crust? This classic ribeye steak recipe is ridiculously simple but packed with gourmet flavor. No fancy tools. Just a good cut of meat and some real heat. 👨‍🍳🔥

🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 thick-cut ribeye steak (room temperature)
• Sea salt flakes 🧂
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 50g unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme 🌿
• 1 clove garlic, crushed (leave the skin on for extra aroma) 🧄

🔥 Instructions:

1. Season like a pro:
   Pat the steak dry and season generously on both sides with sea salt and black pepper. Let sit for 10 mins.
2. Get the pan HOT:
   Use a heavy cast-iron skillet. Heat it until just smoking.
3. Sear the steak:
   Place the steak in the dry pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Resist the urge to move it too much — let it crust!
4. Add flavor:
   Toss in the butter, thyme, and garlic. Baste the steak with the foaming butter for another 1–2 minutes.
5. Rest and slice:
   Let the steak rest on a board for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with leftover butter from the pan. 😍
