A cast-iron kissed rib eye steak seasoned with seasoning salt and lemon pepper and topped with fresh herb butter. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 rib eye steaks (about 1 lb each)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- seasoning salt
- lemon pepper
- 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ tsp fresh thyme (stripped from stems)
- 1 tsp fresh dill (roughly chopped)
- 1 tsp basil (minced)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Directions
- Set steaks out to allow to come to room temperature before cooking. About 30 minutes
- Drizzle steaks with olive oil and season with seasoning salt and lemon pepper
- Heat cast iron skillet(s) over medium heat. If you don't have room in one skillet, use two to cook both steaks, or cook them one after another using 2 tbsp of butter to cook each steak
- You'll want to flip steaks every 2 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked to your liking. About 8 minutes will get you a nice medium-rare temperature. My personal preference is a medium-rare dark sear so I'll let it cook on each side for 4 minutes
- While the steaks are cooking, mix the remaining butter with fresh herbs and lemon zest to serve on the steaks, store in the fridge if you're in a warmer climate
- Remove the steaks from heat and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving
