Ingredients
The original recipe makes 2 servings. Here's what you need:
-
1 (1 pound) rib eye steak
-
Salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)
-
2 Tablespoons garlic and herb salted butter (like Kerrygold®), and you can have some extra for serving (it's optional)
Steps
-
Take the steak out of the package, pat it dry with a paper towel, and put it on a plate. Leave it uncovered in the fridge for 2 hours before you start cooking.
-
Heat a heavy skillet over medium - high heat until it's hot. Sprinkle the steak well with salt and pepper. Cut off any extra fat from the steak.
-
Put the steak in the skillet with the fattiest side down. Cook it until the fat turns brown, which takes about 2 minutes. Then keep cooking until the steak is browned, another 2 minutes or so.
-
Add the butter to the skillet and cook until it turns brown. Flip the steak over and cook it for 2 more minutes, using the browned butter to baste it.
-
Take the steak out of the skillet and put it on a plate. Cover it loosely with foil and let it rest for 7 minutes so it can soak up the juices. Serve the steak with a little pat of butter.
