  • Cook Time: 8-10 minutes
  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Delmonico (ribeye) steaks, about 1.5 inches thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steaks:

  • Bring to Room Temperature:

    • Remove the Delmonico steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  • Season the Steaks:

    • Rub steaks with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh herbs if using.

2. Preheat the Skillet:

  • Choose the Right Pan:
    • Use a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, for the best sear. Preheat the skillet over high heat until very hot.

3. Sear the Steaks:

  • Add Steaks to the Skillet:

    • Place the steaks in the hot skillet without overcrowding. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare, or longer if desired.

  • Add Butter and Garlic:

    • During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add butter and smashed garlic to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to enhance the flavor.

4. Check for Doneness:

  • Internal Temperature Guide:
    • Medium Rare: 130°F (54°C)
    • Medium: 140°F (60°C)
    • Medium Well: 150°F (66°C)

5. Rest the Steaks:

  • Let the Steaks Rest:
    • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

6. Serve:

  • Slice and Enjoy:
    • Slice the Delmonico steaks against the grain and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • For a Perfect Sear: Ensure the skillet is extremely hot before adding the steaks. Avoid moving the steaks while they sear.
  • Oven Finish Option: For thicker steaks, sear in the skillet and then transfer to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes to finish cooking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
