Ingredients
  

  • 2 ribeye steaks (½ pound or 8 ounces each), 1-inch thick, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Instructions
 

  • Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. This helps the steak cook more evenly.
  • Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel, and then season all over with salt and pepper.
  • Brush olive oil over a grill pan or skillet and heat over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes. The oil will shimmer and sizzle when it's hot and ready. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 1 minute, then rotate it 90 degrees to create criss cross grill marks and cook for another 1 minute.
  • Add butter and minced garlic in the grill pan and allow butter to melt. Baste the steaks by repeatedly pouring the melted butter and garlic mixture over the steaks with a spoon. Tilting your grill slightly will assist with basting. Do this for a few minutes.
  • Flip the steak and repeat the step above. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 130-135F (for rare), 135 F (for medium rare), 140 F (for medium), or 155 F (for well-done). It should take approximately 10 minutes in total to cook the steaks.
  • Remove the steaks from the grill pan and cover with aluminum foil to keep them moist. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes. Resting after cooking helps the juices redistribute into the meat as the internal temperature continues to rise a bit while resting.
  • Serve the steaks with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Pour the remaining garlic butter from the grill pan over the steak.
