Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick, about 1 pound each)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
How to Make Perfectly Seared Steak with Rich Sauce
- Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps them cook evenly.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Add the seasoned steaks to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check; 130°F (54°C) is perfect for medium-rare.
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any flavorful bits.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. If using, stir in the fresh thyme leaves.
- Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve drizzled with the savory sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the steaks to achieve a good sear.
- Letting the steaks rest after cooking is crucial for juicy results.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning and sauce ingredients to suit your taste.
Easy Variations
- Experiment with different herbs such as rosemary or parsley for added flavor.
- Swap the beef broth for red wine for a richer sauce.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
What to Serve With It
- Creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting side.
- Roasted vegetables for a healthy balance.
- A fresh garden salad to lighten up the meal.
