                                                                   Prep Time: 5 minutes
                                                                   Cook Time: 8–12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks, approximately 1–1½ inches thick

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed

  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme

Instructions

  1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
