1 2 lb Rib steak
Prepare the garlic compound butter: In a mixing bowl, mix together the ingredients for the compound butter. Put the butter in the fridge while preparing the steak.
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, 2 cloves Garlic, 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, ¼ teaspoon Smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
Season the steak liberally: Season both sides of the steak liberally with sea salt and coarse ground black pepper.
½ teaspoon Sea salt, ½ teaspoon Black pepper
Sear the steak: In a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steaks in olive oil. For medium, cook for approximately 5 minutes each side. This is a great resource for cooking times. Rest and slice the steak: Once your steak is done to your desired done-ness, rest the steak on a plate or cutting board, tented with foil. Let the steak rest for 7-10 minutes, to allow the juices to settle. Slice the steak, and top with garlic and herb butter.
