Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 beef ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 6–8 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp Irish stout or beef broth (optional, for pan sauce)
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for finishing)
Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare steaks: Pat steaks dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
- Heat pan: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear steaks: Place steaks in the pan and cook 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness.
- Optional pan sauce: Remove steaks and let rest. Add garlic and Irish stout or beef broth to pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 1–2 minutes, then stir in butter for a glossy finish.
- Serve: Plate steaks and drizzle with pan sauce if using. Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad.
Notes
Allow steaks to rest 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices. Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness. Fresh herbs enhance flavor, but dried herbs are fine if needed.
